The 2009 National Congestion Electric Transmission Study, required by section 216(a) of the Federal Power Act, examines transmission congestion constraints across the Nation and identifies areas that are transmission-constrained, but does not make recommendations concerning existing or new National Corridor designations. This is the second Congestion Study the Department has conducted, with the first issued in 2006.
