DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Cheyenne, Wyoming is seeking a consultant to provide electricity transmission study services for a comprehensive, two-phase statewide transmission planning effort. The study will evaluate future load growth, transmission constraints, advanced technologies, and a qualitative assessment of electricity market participation. The contract term is expected to be one year.
The selected consultant will inventory Wyoming’s existing electric transmission system and model the current transmission network under three load-growth scenarios: low, moderate, and high demand. The work includes identifying delivery constraints and congestion points, evaluating advanced transmission technologies to address future capacity needs, and producing a gap analysis showing where the system may fall short under each scenario.
Initial work includes project initiation and development of a detailed work plan. The consultant will conduct a kickoff meeting with agency staff to confirm objectives, timelines, deliverables, and communication protocols for both phases of the study. Additional responsibilities include identifying required data sources and modeling tools, supporting formation of an advisory working group, and incorporating stakeholder feedback into modeling assumptions and draft outputs.
Phase I includes an inventory of Wyoming’s existing transmission facilities, including all transmission lines of 69kV or greater. The consultant will identify line ownership across investor-owned utilities, rural electric cooperatives, public power, municipal, and federal systems, and document major transmission lines and substations, including name, owner, location, voltage levels, known constraints or operational limitations, and planned additions, upgrades, or retirements.
