Widely discussed in the solar industry in recent years, the U.S. electric grid needs substantial investment in order to realize the clean energy transition. A new report from law firm Troutman and Pepper seeks to make sense of this vital challenge for the industry.
The report outlines what the U.S. stands to gain from holistic transmission upgrades and the challenges that remain in order to make necessary improvements. Despite the complexity of the task at hand, the report argues, there is reason to be optimistic about the future of the U.S. grid thanks to regulatory and legislative action.
This analysis is a clear overview of the current state of transmission in the U.S. and what work is yet to be done for a robust clean energy transition.
