  manufacturing company that was founded to
  develop, certify and deploy advanced technologies
  to improve the efficiency, capacity, reliability
  and resiliency of the electric power grid.
• Our primary product is high-capacity, low-sag
  CTC Global ACCC Conductor solutions.

History Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC)

• On March 19th, FERC proposed to revise its
  electric transmission incentive policy to
  stimulate the development of transmission
  infrastructure needed to support the nations
  evolving generation resource mix, technological
  innovation and shifts in load patterns.

What was the proposal? 

• Among the proposed reforms, one was particularly
  important to CTC Globals Utility customers in
  the US Offer a 100-basis-point incentive for
  transmission technologies that enhance
  reliability, efficiency and capacity as well as
  improve the operation of new or existing
  transmission facilities. 
• CTC Global comments to FERC highlight the error
  of overly restricting the range of technologies
  eligible for the incentive and offer two specific
  recommendations

• The Commission should advise transmission
  planners that when evaluating a transmission
  projects benefit-cost ratio for incentive
  qualifications they should consider additional
  benefits beyond capacity and reliability,
  notably
• improvements in transmission system efficiency
  that result in reduced transmission line losses,
  reduced air and water emissions from reduced
  generation requirements, and reduced generation
  capacity required to reliably serve electric
  load.

• If FERC agrees that a broader view of eligible
  transmission technologies for this special
  advanced technology incentive is warranted,
  including eligibility for projects using ACCC
  Conductor, then more customers may get the
  benefit of transmission projects using ACCC
  Conductor that increase reliability, capacity,
  and efficiency resulting in cleaner air and
  water, and lower electricity costs.

Conclusion 

• CTC Global filed its comments to the FERC
  Transmission Incentive Rulemaking (FERC RM20-10)
  on June 29th. We expect to hear back from FERC in
  a proposed Rule sometime late Q3 or Q4 of this
  year.
