"New developments since the March 2020 proceeding was launched, such as unforeseen power demand from datacenters and the heightened prioritization of US energy independence, have made FERC's existing transmission incentives policies 'even more essential.'"

Keynote Highlights Featuring Lanny Nickell YouTube video by WIRES

Lanny Nickell discusses the benefits of SPP's 2024 Integrated Transmission Plan at our Spring Meeting:

"Let's talk about this number - $88-$95 billion of reduced APC, that's a 8-9 benefit to cost range. For every $1 invested, $8-9 of value. That's a good deal."

Trump's high-wire act to transform US power grid won't be easy President Donald Trump's oversight of an increasingly unreliable U.S. power grid requires swift action, he said this week, but there is no easy fix for one of the grid's most complex and troubled areas: long-distance transmission lines.

A succinct take from our Executive Director on the new administration's focus on advancing a more robust & reliable grid.

"The clear message from (Trump) is that it's time to really put a heavier foot on the gas pedal & get things moving, said Larry Gasteiger."

"We depend on electricity for...daily conveniences to a robust economy & nat'l security. The new Administration & Congress must prioritize creating a transmission grid capable of meeting these demands. A reliable, affordable & resilient grid is not just an energy issue – it is a nat'l imperative."

Power Play in Washington The new Administration and Congress should make transmission infrastructure a top priority.

Great to see Rich Glick's valuable insights on transmission in T&D World today, an important perspective that was originally penned for WIRES' Fall Newsletter:
