Southeast Inter-Regional Participation Process
About Us
On Feb. 16, 2007, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued Order 890. The primary intent of Order 890 is to reform the decade-old Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) regulatory framework adopted in Order 888.
In support of Order 890, this Web site has been developed to assist in the facilitation of a more open, transparent and coordinated transmission planning process between the sponsors of the Southeast Inter-Regional Participation Process and its stakeholders.

Eastern Interconnection Planning Collaborative (EIPC) Webinar Tuesday, October 13th, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Eastern Time
You are invited to join an interactive webinar to learn about the Eastern Interconnection Planning Collaborative (EIPC) being created by a consortium of Regional Planning Authorities to conduct transmission analyses on an interconnection-wide scale.
The EIPC is unique in that it represents a-first-of-its-kind effort by Regional Planning Authorities to formally review existing expansion plans and future scenarios on an interconnection-wide basis in the Eastern Interconnection. Analyses undertaken will inform policy makers and stakeholders regarding future expansion options and also the potential implications of changes which may result from proposed legislation or other policy initiatives.
State, provincial and federal policy makers and other stakeholders will have a critical role in providing strategic guidance to the EIPC analyses on the range of policies and scenarios that could influence transmission expansion. The webinar will provide an opportunity to ask questions and offer input on how stakeholders can participate.
