Good afternoon, staff seat 3.

4 filings need review, 1 zone crossed into high-risk this week, and 2 reports are queued for export.

All models nominal

Try the Copilot

natural-language queries across every module

Open Copilot (top right) and ask something like "summarize exposure on Corridor 4" or "which zone has the weakest ride-through validation" — it reasons over the same live module data shown across this console.

Docket TX-2027-0148
Generated 2027-03-14
Summary

Prairie Union Electric's asset-condition filing proposes a full rebuild justified by conductor age (52 years). RAG's counterfactual identifies a reconductor-plus-GET alternative that preserves N-1 margin at lower capital cost.

Key figure
[ corridor comparison diagram ]
Findings
  • Avoided capital cost: $18.4M (38% of filed estimate)
  • In-service acceleration: 11 months earlier
  • N-1 margin preserved, summer and winter peak
