Asset management, refurbishment, condition, and local or supplemental projects have become the primary drivers of transmission investment growth nationwide. Yet, these projects often receive little scrutiny, and over the past decade, investment in this category has steadily increased. Left unchecked, this trend could cost consumers billions in unnecessary expenditures, drive up rates, and leave us with a less robust, more fragmented energy system.
To ensure a reliable, affordable, and resilient grid, we must redirect investments away from short-sighted local and asset condition projects and toward long-term, regionally coordinated planning. Join United’s upcoming webinar to learn how we can mend the regulatory gap and advance more beneficial, regionally planned transmission that strengthens our energy future.
Expert panelists will discuss:
- The current regulatory gap in transmission from both a national and regional perspective and the challenges it poses for affordability
- ISO-NE as a case study for improving oversight, offering lessons and insights that could be applied to other regions, particularly PJM
- Strategies to advance more beneficial transmission through regional-first planning
