Electricity demand is rapidly increasing in the United States—so much so that we may need to double or even triple our transmission system by 2050.
In this special Lab Notes episode, hear from NREL experts Jarrad Wright, Christina Simeone, and Faith Smith about key findings from the National Transmission Planning Study. Together, they dive into why the U.S. grid needs an upgrade, the barriers and opportunities for improving it, and what these changes look like on a local level.
