Exciting Developments in Columbia, South Carolina: Upcoming Briefing on Transmission Planning
Columbia, South Carolina, is buzzing with anticipation as the Public Service Commission (PSC) gears up for an important event scheduled for January 21, 2025. Set to take place at 10:00 a.m., this briefing aims to dive deep into the world of transmission planning best practices, providing a platform to share insights and valuable lessons learned from other states.
What’s the Briefing All About?
The PSC has organized this allowable ex parte communication briefing at the request of the Conservation Voters of South Carolina. This means it’s not just a casual chat; it’s a structured opportunity for industry experts and advocates to discuss and explore effective communication strategies and examples of successful transmission planning that could strengthen South Carolina’s energy infrastructure.
For those who might not be familiar with it, an allowable ex parte communication briefing is a special kind of meeting. It allows the Commission to gather information and insights from folks who are involved in the various energy issues that come before them—this can happen without breaching any ethical standards set for them. In essence, it’s a chance for a meaningful exchange of ideas that could help shape future energy initiatives in the state.
How to Attend
If you’re interested in catching this briefing in person, you’ll want to head over to the Commission’s office located at 101 Executive Center Drive, Suite 100, Columbia, SC 29210. It’s always great to participate live, especially when discussions around energy and sustainability are on the table!
Don’t forget, though, that registration is required for all in-person attendees. This isn’t just a formality; it’s essential for ensuring that everything is properly documented and certified according to legal standards. You’ll be able to register upon your arrival at the Commission’s office, so there’s no need to stress about pre-registering!
Can’t Make It? No Problem!
For those who can’t join in person, there’s no need to worry. The PSC has plans to record the briefing, so you can catch up on all the information shared at a later time. How convenient is that? Just keep an eye on the PSC’s website or their Docket Management System to find that recording once everything wraps up.
