High Plains Regional Transmission Summit
The High Plains Regional Transmission Summit was held Nov. 3, 2009, in Lawrence, Kansas. With increasing demand for electricity and the addition of renewable energy generation capacity, the need to facilitate transmission line siting and construction has never been more essential. The summit brought together key stakeholders from the energy community to foster a dialogue on how to improve this process. Below are presentations from the summit that we hope you find useful. For more information about the summit, please contact the chair and organizer, Kansas Rep. Tom Sloan.
