The EIPC was initiated in 2009 by a coalition of regional Planning Authorities and the current membership is listed below. EIPC members are entities listed on the NERC compliance registry as Planning Authorities and represent the majority of the Eastern Interconnection. The EIPC provides a grass-roots approach which builds upon the regional expansion plans developed each year by regional stakeholders in collaboration with their respective NERC Planning Authorities. This approach provides coordinated interregional analysis for the entire Eastern Interconnection guided by the consensus input of an open and transparent stakeholder process. The EIPC received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy beginning in 2010 for three projects. (Learn more about the DOE-funded project.) This work was completed in 2014.
