Unlocking America’s Energy Potential

The electrified economy of the future is already here, but it doesn’t work without transmission.

We need a cohesive vision for transmission planning and development, as well as rules and policies that prioritize transmission infrastructure now.

The Issue

Keeping Pace with the Changing Energy Landscape

Millions of electric vehicles. Giant data centers. Extreme weather. Historic levels of investment and demand for renewable generation. The U.S. power grid is facing many demands and threats all at once, and our transmission infrastructure needs to evolve quickly.

Unfortunately, the lack of a cohesive transmission policy vision has slowed the rate of investment and new construction, leaving gaps in our nation’s energy resilience and reliability, and calling into question whether we can achieve our long-term energy goals.

We need smart transmission policy that helps us:

Combat natural and human-made threats
Meet our carbon reduction goals
Support new manufacturing and advanced technologies
Drive the economy’s ongoing electrification
