I endorse this message: “The only way forward is by building more generation, building more transmission. And to do that we need to clear the deck on roadblocks, which have stymied us for decades.”
FERC’s LaCerte weighs in on midterms, PJM and utility monopolies
“The only way we’re going to get out of the affordability mess is by building more things,” said David LaCerte, a commissioner at the agency.

Grid reliability does more than keep the lights on, it protects customers, powers economic growth, and strengthens national security.
Waiting until reliability needs become urgent is rarely the least-cost approach.

Thank you @FERC Chairman @LauraSwettFERC for keynoting our Fall Meeting. As WIRES marks 20 years of education & advocacy on the benefits of a modern & reliable electric grid, we agree with your characterization: Transmission is the bones, the veins & heart of our system.
#WIRES20
Local transmission is a critical link in the electric transmission chain and is a fundamental part of a reliable and cost effective grid.
A more robust grid = greater reliability = cost savings and benefits to electricity customers.
Grid reliability does more than keep the lights on, it powers America. WIRES’ new one-pager explains why a strong, interconnected transmission system protects customers, powers economic growth, and strengthens national security.

Strengthening the grid to ensure reliable power for customers. ⬇️
Transmission lines are the highways of the electric grid, and in New York, we're investing to keep them strong. @NYSEandG is planning to update more than 230 transmission lines across approximately 800 miles through 2031. Read more: ow.ly/8ghF50ZZRGP

The toolkit for strengthening the grid has a wide variety of options. GETs are a valuable component, but they’re a part of a broad universe of hardware, software & innovative practices that can address a range of needs.
The right solution depends on the use case.
