SUMMARY:ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: Powering Texas: The Case for a 765-kV Transmission Backbone
DESCRIPTION:Twenty years ago\, the Texas legislature passed Texas Senate Bill 20 to designate competitive renewable energy zones (CREZ) and develop a transmission plan to deliver power from CREZ to customers\, while maintaining reliability and cost-effectiveness. Now\, the state is considering construction of a new 765-kV transmission “backbone\,” which would lower congestion costs and energy losses\, boost transfer capabilities\, improve reliability\, and present a tremendous opportunity for economic investment. Development of the higher-voltage system is being considered as part of a plan to support the Permian Basin region\, where the oil and gas industry\, data centers\, and other sources of load growth are expected to push demand to nearly double over the next six years. \nDuring this webinar\, panelists discussed how the state of the Texas power grid has grown over the last two decades\, the challenges and opportunities presented by expanding the grid in the state\, and why it’s crucial that high-capacity lines are prioritized in the coming years. \nFeatured speakers include: \n\nMichael Jewell – Conservative Texans for Energy Innovation\nKris Zadlo – Grid United\nMichael Webber – University of Texas at Austin
