Strengthening Reliability Through the Energy Transformation - October 2024 A strong, flexible transmission system that is capable of coping with a wide variety of system conditions is key to the reliable supply and delivery of electricity. NERC is conducting the Interregional Transfer Capability Study (ITCS) to analyze the amount of power that can be moved or transferred reliably from one area to another area of the interconnected transmission system. As directed in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, the ITCS will also make recommendations for prudent additions to this transfer capability. The ITCS report must be filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by December 2, 2024.
