Large-scale Transmission Deployment Saves Consumers Money provides analysis showing that well-planned, high-capacity transmission yields significant long-term savings for electricity customers that offset required upfront capital investments.

With well-planned transmission investments, customers can see immediate benefits, including tangible electricity cost savings up to $14.4 billion per year for residential customers across the U.S., not accounting for other significant benefits such as economic development and job creation. That’s up to $4.70 in benefits for every $1 invested in transmission.
