TANC Fight Continues By Matt Rexroad on Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 7:39 PM :: 0 Comments :: Blog   E-mail I received today and my response. Mr. Beck: Then the fight continues.  Matt On 7/2/09 3:46 PM, "James W. Beck, General Manager" <gm@tanc.us> wrote: As you may have heard or read, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) has informed the Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC) that it intends to withdraw from TANC’s Transmission Project (TTP). In light of this recent development, all remaining public outreach meetings on the TTP that are scheduled during the month of July are postponed. It is too early at this time to know what options are available to TANC and Western Area Power Administration (Western).  During the month of July, the agencies will be identifying and evaluating options.  TANC and Western believe it is important to keep the “public scoping” period open during this time, and continue to strongly encourage interested parties to submit comments in writing to Mr. David Young at Western by July 30, 2009.  While SMUD’s decision is disappointing, it does not change TANC’s view of the fact that a transmission project like the TTP is needed to help ensure reliable and affordable electric service for the residents and businesses throughout northern California, and to expand access to clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal energy. We will be in touch in the coming weeks to discuss our next steps. In the meantime, please feel free to email me or call Lauren Altschuh at (916) 852-1673 for more information.   Regards,   James Beck General Manager, Transmission Agency of Northern California Email: gm@tanc.us Phone: 916-852-1673
