T&D Grid

“We’re seeing increased congestion leading to increased costs and reliability challenges in the last couple of years. The issue has ripened.”

“We have an immediate opportunity and a responsibility to prepare our next generation workforce for a future that will require them to maintain and prepare the grid for major changes including new loads and new technologies. We also must educate our customers and regulatory agencies.”

“Enabling the adoption of HVDC technology for offshore transmission is critical for achieving a cost-effective and less environmentally impactful offshore grid. Most important is the increased coordination that’s needed to deliver on all the recommendations.”

“While many updates and improvements have been made to these funding opportunities, they are grounded in the original legislation from 2007.”

The goal of the grid is to provide the necessary power capacity that links generators to loads, to maintain reliability under normal and stressed conditions, in a way that minimizes both capital and operational costs and maintains low costs to consumers.

Conversation with former Clean Line Energy CEO Michael Skelly, Grid Strategies president Rob Gramlich, and American Council on Renewable Energy’s Barbara Tyran.

Conversations with the Energy Department’s Patricia Hoffman, Gridwise Alliance’s Karen Wayland, Anterix’s Chris Guttman-McCabe, Lot Sixteen’s Kellie Donnelly, Dentons’ Clint Vince and Andrew Shaw.

“We want to continue to have enough baseload power to reliably serve our members. That would be multiple types of resources, whether it’s nuclear, coal, or natural gas.”

“Where in critical infrastructure do I think the next industry difference can be made? Particularly around reliance, safety, impact on community. I concluded digitization is the next frontier.”
