%T California's Electricity System of the Future: Scenario Analysis in Support of Public-Interest Transmission System R&D Planning
%2 LBNL-52047
%8 04/2003
%X <p>The California Energy Commission directed the Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions to analyze possible future scenarios for the California electricity system and assess transmission research and development (R&amp;D) needs, with special emphasis on prioritizing <em>public interest</em> R&amp;D needs, using criteria developed by the Energy Commission. The scenarios analyzed in this report are not predictions, nor do they express policy preferences of the project participants or the Energy Commission. The public-interest R&amp;D needs that are identified as a result of the analysis are one input that will be considered by the Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research staff in preparing a transmission R&amp;D plan.</p>
