SUMMARY:Experts Discuss Opportunities for Transmission in a Stimulus Plan
DESCRIPTION:With national policy discussions taking place about stimulating the economy through infrastructure investment\, transmission is getting some welcome attention. After the COVID-19 health emergency is under control\, getting the economy moving will be a high priority. Transmission not only puts people to work directly\, but major lines also enable job-creating generation projects to move forward that are currently stuck in interconnection queues. Why is transmission suddenly getting more attention as talks around a potential infrastructure stimulus progress? How could transmission policy support both the potential economic recovery and infrastructure modernization? And\, if so\, what specific policies would help enable further transmission development?
