Planning and Expansion Overview

ColumbiaGrid provides single-utility based transmission planning for the combined network of its participating utilities.  The goal of this program is to answer three key questions with respect to solving identified transmission issues:

  • What should be built?
  • Who should build it?
  • Who should pay for it?


The participants in the Planning and Expansion program believe the ColumbiaGrid process provides the planning support and coordination needed to get multi-party transmission projects constructed in the region.
