Download Policy Brief
Our domestic power grid combines a vast web of transmission lines, energy generation sources, and locally operated infrastructure to distribute power to customers reliably and efficiently. The energy grid has a wide variety of actors that all require consistent and reliable communication streams and market mechanisms to ensure the successful delivery of power. Transmission governance is about meeting rising energy demand by expanding capacity increasing efficiency and reliability. Energy policy is in the spotlight as rapid development of data centers, domestic manufacturing trends, and consumer electricity usage push our grid infrastructure to its limits.
