Grid Vision: The Electric Highway to a 21st Century Economy

Grid Vision provides three key policy recommendations for realizing the benefits of an expanded transmission system. These three recommendations are centered around the “Three Ps” of Planning, Paying and Permitting, which call for forward-thinking and collaborative transmission planning, broad transmission cost allocation to reflect the broadly distributed benefits of transmission, and the simplification of interstate transmission line siting, respectively. Grid Vision concludes that expanding the current transmission system network could save consumers as much as $47 billion annually, a roughly 10 percent reduction in electric bills.
