Transmission planning is a public process lead by PJM through its Regional Transmission Expansion Planning (RTEP). This process identifies the needs of the grid up to 15 years into the future. Several committees support the process that includes transparency and stakeholder engagement. PJM’s Planning Committee reviews recommended planning strategies and policies, as well as planning and engineering designs. The Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee (TEAC) provides a forum for stakeholders and PJM staff to exchange ideas, discuss study assumptions and review results. Subregional RTEP committees address local planning concerns.

In addition, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) has state regulatory authority over transmission facilities. Dominion Energy undertakes meaningful stakeholder involvement prior to submitting Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity applications to the SCC. Once an application is before the SCC, the review process also includes public participation.
