Last month, America’s business leaders and investors met in Washington to discuss the American Business Act on Climate Change. Now more than ever, we need an electric grid that is up to the task of delivering low-cost wind and solar energy from the resource areas to locations with a demand for clean power.
After years of review, the federal government is on the verge of making decisions on the first major interstate transmission lines in the past three decades – the TransWest Express Transmission Project and the Plains & Eastern Clean Line. Under environmental review by the Bureau of Land Management since 2007, the TransWest Express is a multistate power line that will harness private capital to bring 3,000 megawatts of wind power from Wyoming to consumers in the West.
Also privately funded, and under environmental review by the Department of Energy, the Plains & Eastern Clean Line will unlock more than 3,500 megawatts of new, low-cost wind power in the Oklahoma Panhandle region and deliver it to utilities and customers in Tennessee, Arkansas, and other markets in the Mid-South and Southeast.
