On Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at 3:00pm EST, Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) hosted a discussion to introduce their latest report, “Transmission Projects Ready to Go: Plugging Into America’s Untapped Renewable Resources.” The report identifies shovel ready, high-voltage transmission projects across the country that, if constructed, would provide economic benefits around the country and create millions of new jobs. The report also outlines how these projects could begin construction soon if more workable transmission policies are enacted. Read the full report here.
