Macro Grids in the Mainstream: An International Survey of Plans and Progress demonstrates the value of developing interregional transmission and macrogrids to inform US energy policy and engineering communities through a discussion of: (1) the global state of macrogrids, (2) the benefits, cost and characteristics of implementation, (3) engineering design, and (4) consolidating and coordinating mechanisms to accomplish interregional transmission. While a number of countries are considering the development of macrogrids, some have already begun to capture the opportunity to take steps to meet aggressive climate goals and to make their economies more globally competitive. China, for example, recently completed five times more high voltage transmission interconnections than Europe, and over 80 times more than the US.
