Transmission has long been the backbone of electrical grids, but stakeholders across the industry agree it is now a critical component of the energy transition. Significant investments in transmission facilities–estimated to be hundreds of billions of dollars by 2030–are required to meet strong demand, maintain reliability, and improve grid resiliency while connecting new resources to existing load centers and upgrading aging infrastructure.
