The pursuing is a contributed report by Matt Lacey, director of transmission enterprise tactic and advancement for Good River Electricity. There is wide agreement that a significant-scale transmission expenditure in the Midwest is critical to meet greater need for electrical energy and ensure reliability and resiliency as baseload ability crops retire, extra renewable energy is added and electrification will increase. As a result of its very long-selection transmission preparing initiative, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator is charting a path towards this much-wanted regional transmission buildout. The expected financial commitment is big it is predicted that as substantially as $100 billion in large-voltage electrical transmission traces will be developed above the…
