Page v PREFACE Nearly two decades ago Federal Power Commissioner Charles Ross noted that "[I]t is the parties who control transmission, the arteries of the industry, that control the destiny of millions of ratepayers of this Nation." Today, more than ever, transmission is the key to the electric industry. Aside from the traditional battles between the investor owned utilities (IOUs) and public power companies, we see major confrontations between individual IOUs and calls for independent generators and large retail customers to get access to the grid. The institutional framework governing transmission has not kept pace with changes in the industry. Arrangements for use of the grid are still based, in many ways, on the notion of self-contained utilities and old "gentlemen's" agreements between the utilities themselves. These mechanisms have yielded consumers large benefits (some contend regional coordination saves ratepayers as much as $15 billion to $20 billion annually), but are ill-suited for an increasingly competitive marketplace. The Wheeling and Transmission Manual addresses the key issues involved in the debate: the need for coordination, the extent to which access should be permitted, various pricing methodologies which might be employed, obstacles to the addition of new transmission capacity, and contractual matters which should be considered in negotiations between the parties. As we shall see, these matters are all interrelated and the resolution of any of them may affect the outcome of the others. The Manual is designed to give an overview of the issues involved. It is not intended exclusively for the expert engineer or attorney, although both might benefit from it. Rather, the Manual was written with the objective of providing decisionmakers and policymakers with detailed, timely and understandable materials to evaluate the specific circumstances affecting their companies. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Manual owes much to the work of others. Aside from numerous conversations we have had with specific individuals over the years, we relied on a variety of written materials.
