Building transmission fast is possible — other countries have done it. Join us Monday to hear how. Register here: @d2d09cbf-b49d-4faa-ae99-c0339a8eb713" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">events.teams.microsoft.com/event/f9ebf64c…

As @HouseCommerce examines Winter Storm Fern today, a familiar pattern is emerging: Prices spike in some regions while cheaper power is stuck elsewhere. We saw it during Uri. We saw it again this winter. A more connected grid helps solve that.

@FERC's approval of @SPPorg's Consolidated Planning Process (CPP) is a major step toward smarter transmission planning and faster generator interconnection. As @RosnerFERC wrote: “CPP represents the innovation America needs.” Read more: ferc.gov/news-events/ne…

“Transmission is vital to making the most of every electron.” ACEG ED Christina Hayes speaking at @CSIS on why stronger transmission connections help improve reliability and move lower-cost power where it’s needed most. ▶️

Last month ACEG convened state utility commissioners in DC to discuss our 2025 Transmission Planning & Development Report Card. The takeaway: progress is happening, but transmission planning remains uneven. Read the report: cleanenergygrid.org/portfolio/repo…

Join ACEG's Christina Hayes at @Georgetown later this month for a panel on Powering the AI Revolution — exploring grid reliability, affordability, and infrastructure needs as electricity demand from AI and data centers grows.

PJM recently approved $11.8B in transmission projects across its Mid-Atlantic and Midwest footprint. Why transmission matters for customers: Stronger grid connections let regions access lower-cost power, reduce congestion, and help keep prices lower. utilitydive.com/news/pjm-rtep-…

Thank you to @CleanEnergyGrid for naming me a 2026 Transmission Champion. The award itself is already a great conversation piece, helping me to spread the message: Transmission is one of the most effective tools we have to keep energy affordable.

⚡️ Could a "Macrogrid" be the key to a more reliable energy future? On the latest USEA Power Sector Podcast, sponsored by @CleanEnergyGrid, former FERC Chair and GridPolicy CEO Jon Wellinghoff explores the mission to modernize our national electric network.

New peer-reviewed research: stronger interregional transmission could have cut U.S. generation costs by $5–7B in 2022 alone. Letting lower-cost power flow across regions lowers overall electricity costs. Transmission helps keep costs down. utilitydive.com/news/interregi…

@FERC's new ITC report makes no statutory transmission recommendations — even as electricity demand accelerates. The U.S. built just 888 miles of high-voltage transmission in 2024. @ENERGY estimates ~5,000 miles per year may be needed. Statement: cleanenergygrid.org/ferc-itc-repor…

Today, ACEG’s Christina Hayes testified before a House NR subcommittee on how permitting delays raise costs for ratepayers and weaken grid reliability. “Transmission is not a luxury — it’s the backbone of a modern economy.” Full opening remarks: cleanenergygrid.org/christina-haye…

Welcome to our new "Why Transmission?" video series!⚡ This series will feature ACEG members and supporters sharing their thoughts on the importance of building a more robust grid. Our first episode features ACEG Legislative Director James Ritchotte.

On Monday, ACEG honored our 2026 Transmission Champions at the Library of Congress — recognizing bipartisan leaders advancing smart transmission policy as electricity demand rises. Learn more: cleanenergygrid.org/aceg-honors-bi…

Landman is fiction. Grid constraints aren’t. Christina Hayes on why rising energy demand makes building transmission more urgent than ever. 🤠⚡

On Monday, we are hosting our Transmission Champions reception at the @librarycongress, bringing together bipartisan leaders to celebrate their commitment to modernizing the grid, including honors for @RepMMM, @RepCasten and @RosnerFERC, among others. RSVP bit.ly/4kig6CZ

We just released our 2025 Transmission Report Card, and the results are clear: When regions collaborate to plan for their future power needs and interregional transmission is prioritized, transmission infrastructure gets the highest marks. Learn more: bit.ly/4bujVmb

At @USEnergyAssn's State of the Energy Industry Forum, there was broad agreement that permitting reform matters. What often gets overlooked: transmission is the infrastructure that makes reform deliver real affordability and reliability benefits. That’s the focus we're pushing.

Former FERC Chair Jon Wellinghoff on why the macrogrid matters. A sharp, journalist-led conversation on interregional transmission, reliability, and affordability — now live on the USEA Power Sector Podcast (sponsored by ACEG). 🎧 youtube.com/watch?v=_IN3tI…

The NECEC transmission line is entering commercial operation — improving reliability and lowering costs by expanding interregional power flows. This is why transmission matters. Now let’s make it easier to build more of it. canarymedia.com/articles/trans…
