California ISO Board approves transmission plan for next 10 years

The 2021-2022 10-Year Transmission Plan was approved by the California Independent System Operator (ISO) Board of Governors at its March 17 meeting. The blueprint will boost grid resiliency during the state’s electrification push and ongoing transition to carbon-free resources. The plan identified 23 projects estimated to cost $2.9 billion for system expansions, upgrades, and reinforcements needed for reliability and to meet the state’s clean-energy targets efficiently and cost-effectively for the next 10 years.
