Inadequate funding is hindering DOE's efforts to expand and decarbonize the grid. "Right now, we probably could do two HVDC lines simultaneously,” Jigar Shah said. “We’d like to be able to four or five simultaneously."
RTO/ISOs had over 716 GW waiting in interconnection queues at the end of last year. Expanding our nation's grid capacity would connect consumers to the cleanest, lowest-cost generation sources to meet both demand and public policy goals. https://t.co/wbSlDmS6Jz
