Answers to EL and P industry-wide questionnaire reveal mounting interest and participation in EHV transmission, critical problem areas, and a preference for retaining control and supervision of development within the utility to obtain feedback that will broaden experience. Development of transmission facilities at EHV voltages, 345 kV and above, continues to expand rapidly as operating companies find the higher voltages economically attractive for transporting large blocks of power to distant load enters or to interconnections with neighboring systems. Twenty respondents to EL and P's questionnaire report that they now are operating or developing 500-kV transmission facilities, and three companies say they are or will transmit power at 700 kV or higher.
