Stakeholder Steering Committee (Representatives)

The Stakeholder Steering Committee (SSC) is the primary working group in RETI, and is comprised of key stakeholder representatives: transmission owners/providers; generators; utilities/power purchasers; local, state and federal permitting agencies; landowners; and environmental and public interest organizations. The SSC develops and adopts draft work plans for the effort and ensures the active participation of its member organizations. The SSC consults regularly with the Plenary Stakeholder Group and forms working subgroups to complete the scope of work and other tasks as necessary.
