interconnection, merchant transmission and transmission planning
frameworks can accommodate anticipated growth in offshore wind
generation in an efficient or cost-effective manner that safeguards
open access transmission principles. The conference also will provide
an opportunity for participants to discuss possible changes or
improvements to the current regulatory frameworks that may accommodate
such growth. Attached to this Supplemental Notice is an agenda for the
