Launching the SCPN Transmission Series

After years of ambitious campaigns to set climate and clean energy targets at local, state, and national levels, it’s become clear that our country’s current power grid cannot keep up. Integrating new renewable energy sources, as well as meeting rising energy demand and ensuring affordable electricity service, requires a massive expansion of the quantity and quality of transmission lines across the nation — by some estimates, we need to more than double our existing transmission capacity.

Transmission reform requires coordination between federal, regional, state, and local governments, as well as partnerships between traditional transmission actors and the larger climate movement. To meet this challenge, the State Climate Policy Network is hosting a series of transmission-focused events, including introductory webinars on the basics of transmission, expert panels diving into various specific aspects of climate-aligned transmission reform, discussion-based forums on transmission developments across the country, and opportunities to connect with transmission experts and advocates.

To kick off this series, we’ll be hosting a webinar on Wednesday, November 13th at 2pm ET diving into how transmission reform not only helps to secure a livable climate, but also reliable grid and affordable electricity.
