Abstract We propose a transmission expansion planning methodology that explicitly considers uncertainty in facility implementation times for regulatory purposes, to ensure that the decisions about what transmission facilities to build and when to initiate their implementation are correctly made. The resulting expansion plan is optimally adjusted to (or protected from) these uncertainties and, therefore, implementation delays. The approach is based on mixed integer linear programming and applied to a case study.
