The ConCord Initiative supports the enhancement of powerline corridors through innovation, partnerships, and the sharing of information. Below are available resources to support a better understanding of physical transmission infrastructure, economic development opportunities, and more. 

• Multifunctional Transmission Corridors: The Case for Integrating Local and Landscape Benefits into Transmission Corridors:  A collaborative paper inspired by the Designing Multi-Benefit Transmission Corridors workshop at the University of Pennsylvania on August 15, 2025. This paper offers insights into transmission management and planning that can help utilities enhance multifunctionality within their transmission corridors. It also serves as a valuable resource for informing and engaging the public.
• Designing Multi-Benefit Transmission Corridors Workshop Brief: This workshop brief developed for a participatory workshop hosted at the University of Pennsylvania on August 15th. The brief provides foundational materials, case studies, examples, and more.
• An Introduction to Transmission Infrastructure: This presentation provides a detailed introduction to the electric grid and transmission system, infrastructure, siting and safety, an overview of transmission corridors, and common questions and answers.  
• Transmission Planning: Regional Transmission Organizations, Independent System Operators, and Traditional Wholesale Electricity Markets: This fact sheet offers an overview of regional transmission organizations, independent system operators, and traditional wholesale electricity markets, including their functions, coverage, and innovative approaches to regional transmission planning.
• Transmission Planning | FERC and NERC: This fact sheet defines the critical roles of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).
• Transmission Planning Definitions and Acronyms: This fact sheet provides a list of key terms and definitions.
