“…the coordinated planning and construction of new power lines will improve our ability to deliver new resources including wind and other renewables.”
.-- John Cupparo, former NTTG Co-Chair and Vice President, PacifiCorp Transmission
The Northern Tier utilities are committed to working collaboratively among themselves and with their neighbors toward a grid that supports an efficient west-wide electricity market with excellent reliability. NTTG members welcome the full spectrum of stakeholders – state officials, IPPs, environmentalists, consumer representatives, and others. The result of this collaboration will bring tangible near term results and set the stage for longer lead-time infrastructure initiatives.
