“Given our nation’s surge in electricity demand, we see the potential for landmark projects to be the future backbone of a resilient grid,” says Leslie M. Duke, chair and CEO. To help the U.S. maintain reliable electricity during the rapid expansion of renewable energy and nationwide load growth, we’re announcing an alliance with South Korea’s Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) to support the development of 765-kV transmission line and substation projects. KEPCO’s decades of experience and operation of one of three global 765-kV testing facilities are essential for advancing transmission networks and meeting future energy demands.

A bipartisan permitting reform bill was released on Monday. The proposed legislation supports FERC's authority to approve transmission lines and paves the way to require interregional transmission planning. If passed, the law would also require planners to consider advanced conductors and reconductoring in order to maximize current transmission capabilities. Read more about the new bill and the industry response in the article below. ⬇️ #FERC #Transmission #USEnergy #KinectSolar

Project Marahu will add 200 MW of solar power and 285 MW of storage, powering 43,000 homes annually. The project is set to create approximately 750 construction jobs and over 50 permanent positions, boosting local employment. This development supports Puerto Rico's transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050, enhancing grid reliability and reducing fossil fuel dependence. #PuertoRico #2050 #Solar #BatteryStorage #EnergyTransition #Marahu #Sustainability #EconomicGrowth Cr: Akielly Hu | Canary Media Read More: https://buff.ly/3ZhE1s2

Grid Assurance was pleased to work with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in their recent report to Congress titled Large Power Transformer Resilience. The DOE spent considerable time with Grid Assurance to more fully understand our operations and value proposition for the electric utility industry. We look forward to future meetings and collaboration with the DOE as the industry tackles how to restore the nation’s transmission grid when a catastrophic event occurs – whether that’s a physical attack, a cyber-attack, or like the most recent events involving extreme weather. #gridresilience https://lnkd.in/efPe5TXB

Growth in AI and electric vehicle demand coupled with generation fleet retirements will drive up electricity prices and challenge reliability without the proper new investments in base load generation.

Additional stress being placed on grid transformers is contributing to outages and higher distribution charges as utilities are forced to upgrade and replace transformers. Studies have found that sub-metering behind the meter results in 35% less usage; and transformer monitoring can result in intelligent transformer maintenance preventing outages.

This infographic is showing an aspect of the environmental impact that is often overlooked. The area required to produce energy and indirectly the magnitude of the volume of waste produced per kWh for each technology. A hard truth to accept is that Wind and Solar generation are not sustainable solutions. Reducing consumption should be the priority.
