High Voltage, High Reward Transmission
Large-scale transmission projects deliver significant cost savings to American consumers and businesses.
Rising electricity demand, the need for a reliable grid, and new federal regulations are driving renewed interest in large-scale transmission projects. But as interest in transmission investment grows, so do concerns about rising energy costs. Do these investments truly pay off for ratepayers?
Our recently released report, High Voltage, High Reward Transmission, provides a clear answer: yes. Large-scale transmission projects deliver significant savings for American consumers and businesses.
During this webinar, hear from the lead authors of the report, Tyler Farrell and Celia Tandon, as they discuss their findings and why they matter for future grid reliability and affordability. The event concludes with a short Q&A and discussion of the pathways to getting large-scale regional and interregional transmission built in the United States.

We must invest in large- and small-scale solutions, from transmission lines and utility-scale renewables to efficiency and distributed energy resources.
The value of interregional transmission has been studied for decades. Now we need help building it.
