Summary: Daniel C Berkowitz, an individual, supports the Commission's inquiry into transmission technologies by advocating for the use of a stochastic Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) framework. He argues that this methodology better accounts for long-term benefits, uncertainties, and life-cycle costs of advanced conductors and Grid Enhancing Technologies compared to traditional first-cost analyses.
