On May 8, 2024, the Grid Deployment Office released a preliminary list of potential National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETCs). The preliminary list initiates Phase 2 of the process that DOE plans to follow to designate NIETCs.
The U.S. Department of Energy invites the public to submit comments on the potential NIETCs on the preliminary list, including about:
- Transmission needs within the potential NIETCs and associated consumer harms;
- The geographic boundaries of the potential NIETCs; and
- Potential impacts on environmental, community, and other resources within the potential NIETCs.
The deadline for public comments is June 24, 2024.
