@NiskanenCenter And if you missed it, ACEG hosted a #TransmissionTime webinar on supply chain issues affecting the U.S. grid. Watch the recording:
The U.S. is experiencing a shortage of large power transformers, the @NiskanenCenter writes. More than 90% of electricity consumed in the US passes through LPTs, making them critical to the country’s high-voltage bulk-power system.
"Climate action is about building things, not stopping things." Watch @RepScottPeters discuss permitting reform and the need to build more transmission➡️

.@NRDC and @EvergreenAction explored the path to carbon-free electricity after passage of the Inflation Reduction Act — and it involves building more interregional transmission and reducing interconnection bottlenecks. Read more:
