SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) JUNE 22, 2021
In February 2021, Texas experienced catastrophic power outages, a higher degree of interconnection to the U.S. grid could have significantly improved reliability and mitigated this risk.
A lack of transmission lines to carry wind and solar power from where it is generated to where it is most needed, creates a significant challenge for future renewable growth. The announcement by the Biden Administration to provide incentives for the expansion and modernization of transmission lines should help developers modernize and expand critical power infrastructure.
During the Norton Rose Fulbright Currents Podcast, Kimberlee Centera and host Todd Alexander discuss some of the issues, challenges, and opportunities for essential transmission line development. Highlights of the conversation include:
- Land use feasibility and stakeholders
- Project development and timing
- Site location and access to transmission lines
- Rights of way challenges
- Private vs. government land
- Tax credits and incentives
“The need for new transmission lines to support renewable energy production has never been more challenging,” remarked Todd Alexander, partner, Norton Rose Fulbright. “Kimberlee’s willingness to share her experiences with our listeners is a great benefit to anyone who is interested in the solutions to this challenge.”
