The overarching goals of the Information Sharing and Local Planning Assumptions Workgroup are to increase information sharing related to electric system planning and to pro-actively discuss and attempt to reach agreement on planning processes, practices, and assumptions. At least initially, the workgroup will focus on transmission planning processes at the local and regional levels. Specifically, the workgroup will research, discuss, and convene meetings to accomplish the following:

• Improve information sharing among Michigan entities associated with regional and local planning activities, including load forecasting and other planning-related inputs and assumptions.
• Review and discuss applicable planning standards, criteria and assumptions to ensure common understanding of and attempt to reach consensus on how they are applied in Michigan.
• Discuss tools and processes to evaluate resource alternatives, including demand response, generation, distribution, and transmission, in light of Michigan's electric industry structure.
