SUMMARY:ACEG Webinar: How You Can Use State Policies to Strengthen the Energy Grid in the West
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. transmission system needs expansion and modernization. The current network is aging\, needs more capacity to keep up with growing energy demands\, and must be strengthened to ensure lights stay on during severe weather events. \nAmericans for a Clean Energy Grid recently released a report that explores the role that state policies can play in advancing cost-effective transmission modernization and expansion. Join fellow state legislators and policymakers from the West for a webinar to learn more about current transmission issues and some of the policies you can advance to ensure the grid stays reliable\, resilient\, and affordable.

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

SUMMARY:ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: The PACE Of Trust: A Framework By Community Voices for Advancing Transmission
DESCRIPTION:Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG)\, in partnership with DNV\, released a new report earlier this year\, “The PACE of Trust: A Framework by Community Voices for Advancing Transmission.” The report seeks to enable the timely expansion and upgrading of the U.S. electric grid through a focus on building trust and working collaboratively across a broad spectrum of community interests. \nTo identify best practices for community engagement when developing transmission lines\, ACEG and DNV convened a Roundtable representing a wide range of community interests who identified four core areas of importance for community engagement: Participation and engagement of communities; Accountability and good governance; Communication\, transparency\, and trust; and Economic and non-economic benefits. \nThis panel will feature members of the Roundtable who will discuss the importance of effective community engagement in transmission development and offer several actionable recommendations for implementation. \nFeatured speakers include: \n\nAnastasia Gordon – WE ACT\nPatrick Whitty – Invenergy\nDavid Harper – 7Skyline Consulting\nPaul Douglas – The JPI Group\nCici Vu and Morgan Putnam – DNV

SUMMARY:ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: Taking a Holistic Approach to Transmission in PJM
DESCRIPTION: Recently\, PJM Interconnection took a major leap forward by approving a $6.7 billion Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP). The expansion plan includes a $4.6 billion high-voltage transmission backbone to strengthen regional power transfer capacity and interconnect new cost-effective resources\, just in time to support an expected 29.6 GW of new load that is expected to come on to the PJM system in the next 5 years. Bolstering its transmission system will support economic development\, as well as have major cost and reliability benefits for customers across the PJM region. \nAdditionally\, PJM is being more ambitious than ever in proposing multiple projects throughout the region to increase reliability and access low-cost energy\, such as the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project and a line that would connect substations in West Virginia and Maryland developed by FirstEnergy.  \nPanelists on the webinar broke down the challenges associated with transmission development in PJM and what led to this recent breakthrough. They further discussed why RTEP is so important for customers\, highlighted the benefits and challenges of current transmission projects in the region\, and dove into what more can be done to bolster the grid in PJM and across the country. \nFeatured speakers included: \n\nTimothy Burdis – PJM\nDale Arnold – Ohio Farm Bureau \nTom Rutigliano – NRDC \nCommissioner Michael Richard – Maryland PSC

SUMMARY:ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: Rewiring the Future: How Transmission Delivers Savings and Stability
DESCRIPTION:Over a quarter of Americans face high energy burdens\, meaning they spend more than 6% of their annual income on heating and cooling. However\, a new study from Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) and Grid Strategies finds that smart investments in transmission could save customers’ money on their electricity bills right away. \nFurthermore\, a new report released by ACEG\, Grid Strategies\, and Grid United finds that interregional transmission lines will help regions meet their resource adequacy needs at lower cost\, reducing the need to overbuild new within-region generation capacity and increasing reliability for electricity customers. \nInterested in diving into these two reports? Curious to hear how an expanded grid can ease future financial strain for households and businesses? Watch ACEG’s webinar to learn more.  \nFeatured speakers include: \n\n  Adria Brooks – Grid Strategies\n Jeff Dennis – Electricity Customer Alliance\n Madeline Gould Laughlin – Grid United\n Carrie Zalewski – American Clean Power\n Commissioner Katie Dykes – Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection

SUMMARY:ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: Keeping the Lights On Strengthening America’s Grid Against Extreme Weather
DESCRIPTION:As extreme weather intensifies across the United States and the world\, the vulnerability of our aging grid is on full display. The heatwave that gripped much of the Eastern U.S. has pushed electricity demand and prices to peak levels\, while recent blackouts in Louisiana highlight the consequences when the grid fails under pressure. \nInterregional transmission—the ability to move power across regions—remains one of the most effective yet underutilized tools to enhance grid reliability\, lower costs\, and reduce the risk of blackouts during climate-driven emergencies. This webinar will explore how building a stronger\, more connected grid can protect communities\, stabilize energy markets\, and ensure reliable power during extreme heat\, winter storms\, and other severe weather events. \nFeatured speakers include: \n\n Andy Kowalczyk – SREA\n John Bernecker – NYSERDA\n Louisiana Commissioner Davante Lewis\n Gretchen Kershaw – Grid Strategies

SUMMARY:Speed to Power: What DOE’s AI-Era Moves Mean for Transmission and Affordability
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Energy’s new “Speed to Power” RFI and draft Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANOPR) to FERC call for faster\, smarter action to connect major new loads – AI data centers\, semiconductor fabs\, and advanced manufacturing – to the grid. Together\, these initiatives signal an urgent federal push to build a bigger\, better-planned\, and more affordable grid that can keep pace with rising demand. Both comment periods just wrapped\, offering a great time to revisit what it all means. \nThis ACEG Transmission Time webinar will unpack how DOE’s and FERC’s proposals aim toaccelerate interconnections while keeping electricity reliable and cost-effective for households and businesses. Speakers will explain how improved planning\, defined benefits\, and federal financing tools can expand grid capacity without shifting costs unfairly to consumers. Panelists will explore the implications for affordability\, reliability\, and permitting\, outline how stakeholders can engage in the RFI and rulemaking processes\, and discuss how smarter transmission planning can protect ratepayers while powering economic growth in the AI era. \nFeatured speakers include: \nRob Gramlich – Grid Strategies \nRay Fakhoury – Amazon \nKelsey Bagot – Virginia State Corporation Commission \nSarah Freeman – Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP)
