This conference focuses on the current problems in and possible solutions for getting electricity from generators to customers. Restructuring the electricity industry has made transmission no one's problem - and thus everyone's problem. We examine issues associated with ownership and control of transmission, managing current congestion, eliciting sufficient investment in system upgrades, introducing new technology, and prioritizing and paying for needed R&D. We will hear from leaders in industry, government, and academia from engineering, economics, and regulatory policy communities. The presentations and discussions will aim at providing practical ideas that can be implemented immediately, recognizing that a multi-disciplinary approach is needed to make progress in handling transmission problems so critical to the success of our economy.
