Investing in the electricity super-grid
In Short
The development of an interstate electrical super-grid is essential to deliver cost-effective renewable electricity to regions with limited wind or sunlight.
A Few Details
The current progress on the super-grid project for long-distance electricity transmission in the US is limited. While some efforts are underway[1], significantly more investment and expansion are required[2].
Without this super-grid, clean energy plants reliant on solar and wind power will need to secure alternative local backup systems to maintain supply during nighttime and periods of low wind.
