The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) coordinates a number of high voltage power links in western North America. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] These links, known as WECC Intertie Paths , are not necessarily single transmission line, rather they are interties between various areas.
SSEN submitted a revised proposal in January 2020. Ofgem carried out a final consultation on this revised proposal, and concluded in April 2020 that it would grant conditional approval for the link, conditional on Ofgem receiving sufficient evidence by the end of 2020 that the 457 MW Viking Wind Farm project is likely to go ahead.

[1] It oversees the operation of California's bulk electric power system, transmission lines, and electricity market generated and transmitted by its member utilities. CAISO is one of the largest ISOs in the world, delivering ...
In the 1990s, as states and regions in the United States established wholesale competition for electricity, groups of utilities and their federal and state regulators began forming independent transmission operators that would ensure equal access to the power grid for non-utility firms, enhance the reliability of the transmission system and ...
The Pacific Intertie consists of: [4] The Celilo Converter Station which converts three phase 60 Hz AC at 230 to 500 kV to ±500 kV DC (1000 kV pole-to-pole) at . The grounding system at Celilo consists of 1,067 cast iron anodes buried in a two-foot (60 cm) trench of petroleum coke, which behaves as an electrode, arranged in a ring of 2.0 miles (3,255 m) circumference at Rice Flats (near Rice ...
All together, the under-wraps proposal signals a new push toward achieving California’s clean energy targets. Today, the state still procures roughly 40% of its electricity from fossil fuels ...
A distribution network operator (DNO), also known as a distribution system operator (DSO), is the operator of the electric power distribution system which delivers electricity to most end users. Each country may have many local distribution network operators, which are separate from the transmission system operator (responsible for transporting ...
Utility provider Southern California Edison on Monday evening cut electricity to another 105 homes in a section of Rancho Palos Verdes known as Seaview for "varying lengths of time" — some to go ...
