Electricity demand in the U.S. is growing rapidly and is expected to accelerate even more due to industrial activity, electrification of homes and transportation, and the rise of energy-intensive artificial intelligence and data centers. The electrical grid that carries power across the county was built for a different time and different demand and is struggling to keep up with the needs of today’s consumers. Without upgrades, more frequent outages and bottlenecks will occur, driving up costs for everyone. To keep our power affordable and dependable, a stronger, more modern transmission system is needed to ensure we can deliver reliable energy where it’s needed most.
