Presentation

0:00 → 4:13(4m 13s)

Chairman opened with remarks on E11: he filed a concurrence recording historical context for a waiver request from PJM regarding the TransSource transmission project. He said the waiver is moot but that PJM and TransSource (majority-owned by AEP) have sued in federal court arguing that inclusion in PJM's regional plan preempts state CPCN authority; he called that position "really, utterly outrageous" and cited prior Virginia cases to the contrary.
