SUMMARY:Grading the Grid: How Well Do Regions Plan & Develop Transmission?
DESCRIPTION:Multiple studies have found the U.S. needs to more than double its transmission capacity to sustain its growing energy demands and safeguard the grid against more frequent severe weather. To better understand if we are on track to meet this need\, a new report from Americans for a Clean Energy Grid evaluates and ranks transmission planning and development across 10 regions. The report finds that in many parts of the country\, grid operators\, utilities\, and states have a ways to go to appropriately plan new transmission in a holistic and proactive way\, though some have begun to make progress. \nAs the study highlights\, smart transmission planning provides major benefits to consumers. In MISO — which earned one of the highest scores — a review found that its “Multi-Value Project” portfolio of transmission lines would have benefits more than twice as large as their costs. In New England\, a recent report from the Brattle Group found that proactively planning offshore transmission would dramatically limit the overall cost of connecting offshore wind resources. \nOn Wednesday\, June 28\, ACEG hosted a webinar featuring an overview of the report and a panel discussion. Featured speakers included: \n\nManish Chaturvedi — HASI\nThomas Coleman — SAFE\nDevin McMackin — ITC Holdings Corp.\nKaren Onaran — ELCON\nZach Zimmerman — Grid Strategies (Report Author)\nModerated by Rob Gramlich — Grid Strategies (Report Author)\n\nView the report card. \nView a recording of the event.

SUMMARY:Transmission Time: Environmental Justice & Electric Transmission
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, May 31\, Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) and the State Energy & Environmental Impact Center for a webinar on environmental justice considerations in transmission development. \nHistorically\, the U.S. has constructed infrastructure in a manner that disproportionately harms low-income communities and people of color. Now the country urgently needs to expand its electric transmission system\, so how can we build out the grid in an equitable way? \nTransmission lines can span hundreds of miles\, and they will pass through some communities\, including Tribal lands. Our panel of expert speakers will explore how developers can undertake meaningful local engagement at all stages of the process\, including transparent and collaborative route selection\, the development of community benefit funds\, and other innovative ways to ensure that those impacted by a project also benefit from it. \nFeatured speakers include: \n\nJasmine Jennings — WE ACT for Environmental Justice\nKristen Golden — Grid United\nMontina Cole — Jai Green Consulting\nMo-Yain Tham — Jobs to Move America\nModerated by Christine Powell — EarthJustice\n\nView a recording of the event here.

SUMMARY:Planning for the Future: Diverse Perspectives on the FERC's Proposed Planning Rule
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, August 18 at 12 p.m. ET\, ACEG hosted a public briefing to discuss comments submitted in response to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission‘s notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR)\, seeking to reform its regional transmission planning and cost allocation policies. \nACEG brought together a diverse set of speakers — representing transmission developers\, clean energy generators\, large energy consumers\, and environmental advocates — to offer their thoughts on the NOPR after submitting their public comments. \nA major buildout of the nation’s transmission system is critical to the development of a modern and clean grid. And yet\, over the past decade\, no new interregional lines have been planned. The NOPR can ensure transmission planning is sufficiently forward-looking as transmission needs grow rapidly in the U.S.\, particularly with growing emphasis on electrified buildings and cars. \n  \nPanelists included: \nAdam Stern\, Manager\, Regulatory Affairs at Enel \nAdrienne Mouton-Henderson\, Director\, Market and Policy Innovation at Clean Energy Buyers Association \nLarry Gasteiger\, Executive Director\, WIRES \nJohn Moore\, Director\, Sustainable FERC Project at NRDC \nSimon Mahan\, Executive Director\, Southern Renewable Energy Association \nView a recording of the event here.  \nTo read ACEG’s statement in support of FERC’s proposed rule\, along with its full comments to the Commission\, click here.

SUMMARY:Transmission Time: National Security Benefits of Electric Transmission
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, April 4th\, from 3-4 pm ET\, ACEG\, ACORE\, and SAFE hosted a webinar with retired military leaders and senior defense officials for a discussion on the national security benefits of a more robust\, reliable\, and resilient electric system. \n In recent years\, the U.S. has experienced more frequent and severe extreme weather events\, highlighting the need for greater grid resiliency. Moreover\, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted new concerns about security and serves as a reminder that accelerating the pace of electrification of the U.S. vehicle fleet and renewable energy deployment can reduce the nation’s dependence on global fossil fuel markets\, which can be subject to unpredictable price spikes and the influence of unsavory autocratic leaders. Enhancing resilience will require a more robust transmission grid. This event also examined the electricity-related dependence of U.S. military facilities on surrounding communities. \nSpeakers included: \nGeneral Carlton Everhart II\, Commander\, Air Mobility Command (Ret.); Member\, SAFE’s Energy Security Leadership Council; President\, Everhart Strategic Consulting Group \nDorothy Robyn\, Ph.D.\, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Installations and the Environment; former Commissioner\, Public Buildings Service\, U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) \nVice Admiral Dennis McGinn\, U.S. Navy (Ret.); former Assistant Secretary of the Navy\, Energy\, Installations\, Environment; former President and CEO\, ACORE \nView a recording of the event here.

SUMMARY:Transmission and the Future of Electric Power: A Conversation with the Authors of the New National Academies Report
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, The National Academies of Science\, Engineering\, and Medicine released a new report\, “The Future of Electric Power in the U.S.\,” which undertook a comprehensive evaluation of the country’s changing electric system and outlined recommendations for providing reliable and resilient energy as the U.S. pursues its decarbonization goals. On June 8\, 2021 at 2:00pm EST\, Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) hosted the next installment of Transmission Time where we were joined by co-authors Karen Palmer and Susan Tierney as they reviewed their study\, their perspectives on the future of electric power\, and the role that transmission will play in a decarbonized energy landscape. According to the study\, “transmission planning and expansion have not kept up with the operational and regional delivery needs anticipated in a low-carbon\, resilient electric system.” The authors recommend that “Congress and the states should support the evolution of planning for and siting of regional transmission facilities in the U.S.\, with changes in federal law to: • Establish a National Transmission Policy; • Direct FERC to expand on the policy bases for regional transmission planning; • Give FERC the responsibility to designate new National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors and to approve interstate transmission lines in them; and\, • Direct DOE to provide funds to states\, communities\, tribes to enable meaningful participation in regional transmission planning and siting activities.” \nWatch a full recording of the event.
