TRANSMISSION PLANNING & THE FUTURE

Americans are consuming more electricity than ever before and we need to build more transmission to meet this growing demand.

Current renewable sources like wind, solar, and geothermal power are available in nearly infinite supply, but our aging electricity grid doesn’t connect energy-rich regions to the population centers that need it most. 

Today’s power grid includes electricity generation (power plants, wind farms, solar fields), electric power transmission (high-voltage wires spanning the country) and electricity distribution (wires on your street).
