🏢 AI and data centers 🔧 Manufacturing 🚗 EVs All these industries need massive amounts of power. But transmission isn’t keeping up. Our new report shows we’re building too little, too slowly ➡️ bit.ly/4f1Beea

New report from @CleanEnergyGrid & Grid Strategies shows transmission construction not keeping up with demand, jeopardizing reliability, affordability, and economic competitiveness. HVDC lines are faster, cheaper, and smarter—but we’re building too few. bit.ly/4f1Beea

Transmission needed in PJM ⤵️ "This heat wave should be a wake-up call: doing nothing or continuing with piecemeal upgrades invites disaster. More Tx capacity would not only improve reliability and reduce the risk of rolling blackouts, but would also lower electricity costs."

👏"Leaders in Virginia and throughout PJM must accelerate planning and permitting for regional and interregional lines, coordinate with states and federal agencies, and streamline the process for connecting new energy projects." richmond.com/opinion/column…

A new @CleanEnergyGrid and Grid Strategies report shows that investing in sensible transmission upgrades could net residential consumers $6.3-10.4 BILLION in savings per year while also helping meet growing electricity demand. cleanenergygrid.org/portfolio/repo…

🔌"We can’t move electricity from areas with excess capacity to where it’s needed because we haven’t built enough transmission lines. And in a world increasingly powered by machine intelligence, if your power goes out, your economy goes offline." nytimes.com/2025/06/16/opi…

💸Transmission isn't just important for keeping the lights on – it also puts money back into customers’ pockets. Interested in learning more? Register here for our webinar here: bit.ly/3ZJzu2v

👏Today's Senate ENR hearing highlighted transmission's importance. @SenatorHick: "We may need 35 GW of additional interregional capacity just to ensure reliability." @RobGramlichDC: "Interregional transmission is one of the best ways to improve reliability and resilience."

👏"There is a growing need for the industry to coalesce around best practices for resource adequacy metrics and capacity accreditation," say Commissioners Chang and @RosnerFERC in their concurrence on SPP's capacity accreditation proposal. ferc.gov/news-events/ne…

Aging grid + record heat = a recipe for disaster. What can we do about it? 🧵 A better-connected electric grid can reduce blackouts, lower costs, and improve reliability—no matter the weather. Learn more at our upcoming webinar 👉 bit.ly/4lIhGho

📉 The U.S. built just 322 miles of major transmission in 2024. That’s less than 10% of what’s needed annually to keep the grid reliable and affordable. If we don’t build the grid, strategic industries can’t build their future. Learn more: bit.ly/4f1Beea

🏗️ ACEG Executive Director Christina Hayes recently attended the @reindsummit, where the focus was on bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. But what was the conversation missing? The need for more transmission! 📹 See what Christina had to say:

📨A letter from 9 bipartisan governors calls for PJM to appoint two new board members, saying that non-action has "deprived our states of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investment that may flow to other regions." pjm.com/-/media/DotCom…

👏We're excited to announce that @nationalgrid has joined ACEG as a supporter! National Grid is one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in the US — serving more than 20 million people throughout New York and Massachusetts.

Grid United, @CleanEnergyGrid, and Grid Strategies released a report this month highlighting interregional transmission as key to ensuring reliable power and providing recommendations for improving planning processes for these powerlines. cleanenergygrid.org/portfolio/repo…

👏"We need greater interregional transmission, and we needed it probably two years ago," said @davantelewis during a recent Louisiana PSC meeting. Watch here ⤵️

👏Great exchange between @RepScottPeters and @SecretaryWright earlier this week at a @HouseCommerce hearing. "The United States needs to build more energy infrastructure of all kinds and certainly including transmission lines," said Secretary Wright.

Bottlenecks in our power grid are preventing reliable, low-cost energy from coming online. The good news: more transmission can help! Watch this video to learn what new power lines mean for you. 🔌 tinyurl.com/PowerLines101

📊 Our new report shows that well-planned transmission could save U.S. households up to $14.4 billion per year on electric bills – even after accounting for the cost of building it. ➡️ Read how smarter grid investments = real money back in your pocket: bit.ly/3ZV7jhb
