Building the Western grid of the future
Description
The West is redesigning its electricity system in real time, from market integration efforts at the Regional Organization for Western Energy and Southwest Power Pool to sweeping transmission planning and rapid large-load growth. Market governance, transmission cost allocation, clean firm policy, and data center demand are converging, and those decisions will shape how renewable energy buyers and producers contract, build, and deliver over the next decade. Learn how these shifts are influencing the next phase of Western electricity markets.
