The Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference, in partnership with the Alaska Center for Energy and Power, is hosting a free two-day virtual workshop focused on transmission planning. This is a between-conferences workshop, to sustain connections, strengthen relationships and share knowledge between now and the 2026 ASEC.

The agenda will cover a range of topics, with subject matter experts from Hawaii to New England presenting topics including planning methodologies, standards compliance, system modeling, and the intersections between transmission planning and other key utility planning processes such as integrated resource planning and interconnection procedures.

When: 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. AKDT, Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 5 and 6
