The need for further buildout of new transmission across the US is an acute pain point for developers, IPPs, utilities and ratepayers alike. While this issue has been identified, how is the industry going about addressing it? 

  • Who pays? Replacing outdated transmission is necessary but not cheap- is it on the developer or offloaded to the end consumer? 

  • Building out new transmission is also a challenge; what major roadblocks are developers facing? 

  • Are current policies and plans for new buildout efficient? Where are the most pertinent inefficiencies?
