Transmission

The continuing trend of unbundling electric utility functions places increased attention on the physical and financial performance of transmission assets. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s focus on creating a limited number of regional transmission organizations to control the nation’s transmission grid demands decisions on control over transmission systems and on the role transmission owners will play in the future. Navigant provides transmission owners a single source of support for all aspects of their business.
