The purpose and need for this action is to comply with Section 368 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which calls for designating energy transport corridors that will foster future projects to deliver electricity, oil, natural gas, and hydrogen to markets and users in the 11 western states and take into account the need for upgraded and new electricity transmission and distribution facilities to improve reliability, relieve congestion, and enhance the capability of the national grid to deliver electricity.
