Stakeholder Steering Committee

The Stakeholder Steering Committee (SSC) is comprised of stakeholder representatives from eight sectors, whose purpose is to provide strategic guidance to EIPC Analysts on the scenarios to be modeled, the modeling tools to be used, key assumptions for the scenarios, and other essential activities. The SSC will gather input from stakeholders, represent their constituents’ interests in deliberations, and strive to achieve consensus on aspects of the transmission planning studies and reports by the EIPC. 
More information about the SSC can be found in the SSC Charter.
SSC Work Groups

Currently active Work Groups include the Transmission Options Task Force (TOTF) and the Modeling Work Group (MWG).

During Phase I of the project, the SSC designated three stakeholder work groups and one stakeholder task force to assist the SSC with its input and decisionmaking.
