Transmission Upgrades: Powering the Renewable Future
Modernizing electrical transmission infrastructure to unlock renewable energy potential and enhance grid reliability

Section 1 of 5Why Transmission Upgrades Matter
Electrical transmission systems are the highways of the power grid - they carry electricity from generation sources to consumers. As we transition to renewable energy, these transmission networks need significant upgrades to handle increased capacity, variable generation patterns, and new connection points across vast geographic areas.
Transmission upgrades involve modernizing power lines, substations, transformers, and control systems to create a more robust, flexible, and efficient grid. These improvements are essential for integrating large-scale renewable energy projects, reducing energy losses, and improving overall grid reliability.
The Transmission Bottleneck
Many renewable energy projects are delayed or curtailed not because of generation limitations, but because transmission infrastructure cannot deliver the power to consumers. Upgrades are critical to unlock the full potential of renewable energy.
