"The Energy Department’s LPO conditional loan guarantees announced today include a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee of up to $1.6 billion to AEP Transmission Company (AEP). The loan guarantee would help the transmission utility finance the reconductoring or rebuilding of almost 5,000 miles of #TransmissionLines in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, and West Virginia."
Every time an ice storm takes down white pine branches in our back yard, knocking down our power line, I tell the linemen, "I've become entirely too dependent on electricity."
How #Biden would address #ClimateChange in a second term https://www.eenews.net/articles/how-biden-would-address-climate-change-in-a-second-term/ #USpol
"Biden’s presidency so far has focused on big-ticket items... It’s the most aggressive #climate policy of any US president in history... a 2nd term likely would focus on #ClimateSolutions that could take decades to play out — but are necessary to cut #emissions: building out thousands of miles of new #TransmissionLines, rapidly scaling up #EnergyStorage solutions and getting more #IRA dollars out the door"
"Congress hasn’t been able to agree on a bill to increase electrical transmission.
In lieu of action from Congress, the Biden administration has [worked] with states and private companies in an effort to upgrade 100,000 miles of existing #TransmissionLines so they’ll be able to carry more power using so-called #reconductoring – swapping high-voltage lines, which carry more electrical capacity, onto already existing towers. "

Why putting #solarpanels beside #highways is a no-brainer!
#California could generate enough #electricity to power 270,000 homes by putting solar panels in the empty land next to highway interchanges in just 3 Southern California counties.There is a lot of “dead” space between highways, which is currently not used for much of anything. It’s not a usable space for wildlife, either, due to the proximity of so many cars. These locations are often near #transmissionlines

"The #US can’t afford to take 12 years to [#TransmissionLines] given the growing need for more #energy infrastructure, Armistead said.
He pointed to Europe and China, where billions of dollars are being invested in new high-voltage lines to connect power plants to cities where demand is high.
While rerouting the line around sensitive areas in New Mexico took more time and money, Armistead said he believed it was the right thing to do."

Here's how #extremeheat can impact the grid and #renewables – and what's being done to protect them
#Heatwaves can also impair efficiency of power generation and transmission. Both renewable and conventional #powerplants may operate less efficiently under high temperatures. Likewise, #electricity #transmissionlines can lose efficiency due to higher resistive losses at elevated temperatures. Battery systems, particularly #lithiumion, can suffer in high temperatures as well

Congested #transmissionlines cause #renewablepower to go to waste in #
State’s inefficient #powergrid can't handle the full load it could deliver in ongoing #heatwave. When energy production is high, all of the #powerlines fill up. When that congestion occurs, a portion of the #electricity coming from #renewable sources is wasted because it can’t reach businesses, households and other consumers that need it. This is called curtailment. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/congested-transmission-lines-cause-renewable-power-to-go-to-waste-in-texas/
Apart from the metaphorical ones, sometimes actual #fossils are in the way of building #TransmissionLines:
"The #GreenlinkWest project would build a 470-mile-long transmission line bringing clean electricity north of Las Vegas to Reno in #Nevada, but it cuts through an area containing everything from woolly mammoth tusks to giant sloths to ancient camels."
(You can now use ultrasound to explore for these large fossils; could do that during the trajectory planning).

Three #Wisconsin #utilities want a rate hike for:
- #TransmissionLines
- more #wind and #solar generation
- new #NetMeters
But
"Content noted that #Alliant energy is trying to have more dollars flow through the side of the company that gets a 10 percent #profit rate, and that Xcel Energy is seeking to increase its profit rate from 10 percent to 10.25 percent through the #RateHikes."
