US energy department announces $1.3bn transmission buildout
Oct 31, 2023
The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to a $1.3 billion commitment in three transmission lines crossing six states, advancing projects aimed at adding 3.5GW of additional grid capacity throughout the United States.
To ensure that transmission buildout is done in an informed manner, DOE also released the final National Transmission Needs Study to provide insight into where the grid – and US communities – would benefit from increased transmission.
