NextGen Highways

The long-awaited MISO Tranche 2.1 projects were approved today! Many new transmission projects are likely good candidates for collocation in highway corridors. nextgenhighways.org/look-to-highwa…

NGH is excited to announce the launch of a CO Coalition tmrw in Denver! NGH has the honor to co-convene a kickoff with the Colorado Electric Transmission Authority to discuss removing barriers to co-location in ROWs. nextgenhighways.org/colorado-coali…

#ICYMI: CEN launched the "American Powerhouse" campaign to promote a secure, reliable, and affordable power grid. Check out conservativeenergynetwork.org/american-power… for resources and our short film from the @ALEC_states meeting last week. Full press release here: conservativeenergynetwork.org/conservative-e…

Congrats to @ConsEnergyNet on the recent launch of the American Powerhouse campaign focused on the national security and energy independence benefits of transmission expansion. NGH is thankful for the partnership with CEN! 🔌💡 conservativeenergynetwork.org

@JamesHewettDC We are also behind China in using highway corridors for collocating new transmission.

We are losing to China on transmission

We'd like to thank @ncelenviro (NCEL) for becoming our newest Nat'l Coalition Member! We look forward to advancing the mission of removing prohibition on Highways ROWs to enable collocating transmission on interstate highways in all 50 states. Onwards!

Highways could be pathways for the high-voltage transmission the U.S. needs for a cleaner, cheaper and more reliable grid — if states open the rights-of-way. Nonprofit NextGen Highways is on a mission to make this happen, starting in Minnesota: canarymedia.com/articles/trans…

We'd like to sincerely thank @Breakthrough for being a significant supporter in this important work. We are active in WA, OR, ID, CO, IA, and MN. Up Next: IL, MI, VA, MD, NJ, DE and NY!

ICYMI, last week MN passed a bill allowing the co-location of high-voltage transmission infrastructure in all existing state and interstate highway corridors! This is great policy (see chart below) and other states should follow their lead. Congrats to @HighwaysNextgen!

Welcome our newest national coalition members: @ConsEnergyNet and @citizensclimate We're excited to have you join our growing list of organizations working together to reimagine highways as infrastructure corridors to meet society’s needs!

Co-locating transmission lines in highway ROW just makes sense, speeds the permitting timeline and bothers fewer private landowners
