State Engagement with Regional Transmission Processes: why grid design is key to sustainability!

The grid is the new ‘market place’ supporting everything we all do, every day.

Watch this 25Apr25 webinar to learn about our current grid, and how to help the grid evolve to meet our 21st century needs and goals.

 

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

The grid is not just part of de-carbonization. It helps us structurally respond to dynamic changes!

Imagine

  • a 6 day massive cold spell in the midwest causing a brown out in the midwest.
  • Then imagine the east coast that doesn’t have this extreme condition and the east grid electricity can flood to assist the mid-west.

It’s not imaginary – this webinar shows how our current grid responded to this very event in 2022.

The grid allows for large scale cross-state COLLABORATION for local resiliency and well-being!

  • What a great patriotic objective!
  • By the people for the people!

 

Well designed transmissions provides

  • optionality
  • resilience
  • insurance.

It’s in all our best interest to make a comprehensive and distributed electric grid.
Let’s work together for next generation transmission!

“Multi-value Grid project” designed to move power generated in the west (wind in the midwest) to east (loads in Chicago etc), approved in 2011.

RTO= regional transmission organization

ISO = Independent system operators
