Central Region Public Power Partner Stakeholders
Announcement of Meeting on April 20, 2012
Notice
Tennessee Valley Authority and its Central Public Power Partners (CPPP) are inviting
regional stakeholders to participate in an ongoing CPPP stakeholders group. The next
Stakeholder meeting will be held on April 20, 2012 in Chattanooga, Tennessee at the
Tennessee Valley Authority Headquarters.
Background
The CPPP comprises TVA, East Kentucky Power Cooperative, and Associated Electric
Cooperative, Inc.
The purpose of the CPPP stakeholder group is to facilitate regional and inter-regional
planning studies, provide a process allowing stakeholders to request economic planning
studies and provide access to planning data, assumptions, criteria, and results of studies.
This process will help develop mutual benefits from stakeholder involvement in regional
planning and will address CPPP’s voluntary participation in an open and transparent
planning process.
In addition to regional activities, the CPPP participates in inter-regional planning through
relationships with the 1) PJM, MISO, and SPP utilities, 2) Southeastern Interregional
group comprising the main transmission-owning members of SERC and 3) Eastern
Interconnection Reliability Assessment Group ERAG. This will facilitate the
participation of CPPP regional stakeholders with interests in inter-regional projects.
Details for April 20, 2012 CPPP Stakeholders Meeting
The meeting will be held on April 20, 2012, at the Chattanooga Office Complex in
downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee from 10 am to 3 pm EDT. See the attached agenda.
