4 FAQs about New energy transmission site

Will new electric transmission facilities be required for new solar power plants?

New electric transmission facilities might be required for some new solar energy power plants. Electric power transmission is the process by which large amounts of electricity produced at power plants, such as industrial-scale solar facilities, is transported over long distances for eventual use by consumers.

Where will new transmission infrastructure be installed in the United States?

While new transmission infrastructure would be installed across the contiguous United States, the biggest expansion would take place in the country's central wind belt, where long-distance lines are especially important.

Where does electricity come from in North America?

In North America, electricity is sent from power plants to the North American transmission grid, a vast network of electric power lines and associated facilities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Due to the large amount of power involved, and the properties of electricity, transmission normally takes place at high voltage (69 kV or above).

Why is modernizing the electric transmission grid important?

Modernizing and expanding the electric transmission grid is critical to unlocking access to renewable energy across public, private, and state lands and improving the reliability and resilience of electricity delivery as demand increases and climate-related disruptions intensify.
