Abstract
⺠We describe a new tool to evaluate transmission expansion and renewable resource selection. ⺠We examine a scenario where 33% of the energy in the Western Interconnection comes from renewables. ⺠Wind energy provides the majority of new renewable energy. ⺠For some loads, the decision to procure wind and the required transmission is insensitive to assumptions. ⺠For other loads, assumptions can shift toward more solar, which also changes the needed transmission.
