Abstract	This documentation describes the first version of the Reconductoring Economic and Financial Analysis (REFA) tool. REFA allows transmission planners to understand financial, economic, and environmental benefits of line upgrades, using conventional or advanced conductor reconductoring solutions. The tool also allows utilities to demonstrate the entire lifetime value of reconductoring projects, supporting potential justifications for projects with higher Capex.
