A transmission boom is needed to realize the Inflation Reduction Act’s benefits, and it will pay for itself
"While there’s significant complexity to some of the potential planning reforms, one technology stands out as a straightforward way to make better use of existing transmission corridors — using Advanced Conductors. Reconductoring and rebuilding existing transmission pathways using Advanced Composite Conductors can help create a significant amount of new transmission capacity more quickly and more cost-effectively than trying to build new, large-scale transmission. Deploying Advanced Conductors to address just 25% of aging infrastructure needs in NERC regions could facilitate the interconnection of at least 27 gigawatts of zero-carbon generating capacity annually over the next 10 years, according to a recent report."
