For renewable generation levels from 10% to 60% of annual energy consumption, interconnecting two power market sub-regions with different wind regimes through transmission investments can reduce annual production costs by between 2% and 23% and annual renewable curtailments by 45% to 90%.

Wow this is a powerful finding! With the U.S. grid being so vast in geography and location, more interconnections are surely needed.

100% agreed! The findings certainly make a compelling case for additional interconnections to further unlock renewable energy across the U.S.
