Potential Customer Benefits of Interregional Transmission

The report, ‘Potential Customer Benefits of Interregional Transmission,’ produced by GE International, Inc. for the Macro Grid Initiative, points to three geographic areas today with greater than 70% renewable energy penetration: California, Denmark and the Southwest Power Pool (SPP). The report notes that the demand for clean energy from public policies leads to 20-50% renewable energy penetration by 2035 and describes the significant benefits of interregional transmission to reducing the cost and increasing the reliability of the power system in that future state.
