This correspondence serves as documented \nevidence that incumbent utilities and developers in the MISO footprint are actively avoiding the \nevaluation of cost-effective Grid-Enhancing Technologies and existing line upgrades in favor of \nmore expensive new-build projects. \nPlease add this correspondence to the record. \nSincerely, \nDebra Ann Ostroski"}],"sections":[{"p":1,"at":0,"title":"Page 1","method":"page range","endPage":1,"endAt":1152,"startToken":0,"endToken":157}]}
