Joint Initiative with NTTG & WestConnect
Joint Initiative with NTTG & WestConnect Overview
In mid-2008, representatives from Northern Tier Transmission Group, ColumbiaGrid and WestConnect decided to join forces to pursue a number of projects that would benefit from a broader reach of expertise and geography. Each group had begun work in areas that captured the interest of the others and a mutual Joint Initiative program was conceived and begun.
As part of the Joint initiative, two "Strike Teams" (organized as "projects" within this website) will tackle technical exploration of individual projects using resources from entities who see value in participation. A broad stakeholder "Think Tank" group will provide a place for information sharing Those parties who decide to move forward with implementation of the projects developed by the Strike Teams will do so pursuant to an Implementation Agreement among such parties. A more detailed description of the process is described in the "Facilitators' Proposed Approach".
ColumbiaGrid is providing this website as a single point for the posting of Joint initiative documents and calendar scheduling. Persons interested in keeping up with the Joint Initiative activities can sign up to receive announcements by clicking on "Join Interest List" at the top right of any page on this website.
