Informing the Transmission Discussion offers an overview of the challenges each US region faces as a result of changing energy mixes, increases in electrification, increases in demand-side variability from DERs and energy storage and the need for location-constrained renewables. The study looks at the current regional transmission landscape and examines what must be done to address these challenges, finding that transmission is a critical solution for meeting both clean energy and resilience objectives. Informing the Transmission Discussion also details how the electrification of buildings and vehicles will increase demand for electricity supply and renewable resources, with an estimated $7 to $25 billion in transmission investment needed by 2031 to meet these needs.
