"Revamping the US Grid: Innovative Solutions for a Looming Crisis"
The US is facing a decline in the addition of high-voltage transmission lines, with approval processes and lawsuits causing significant delays. Reports suggest that the US could double the electric grid's capacity by adopting the technique of "advanced reconductoring," which involves replacing old power lines with newer models that can carry twice the current. This approach, already used in other countries, could provide room for more wind and solar power. While some US utilities have questions about its effectiveness, experts believe reconductoring could be a major part of upgrading the grid.

Boost Expected for U.S. Energy Infrastructure
The Biden administration has approved the development of several major new transmission lines across the US to support the growing demand for electricity and the green energy transition. The new infrastructure will connect renewable energy projects to the grid, transport green energy from wind and solar fields, and future-proof the grid for the anticipated rise in energy demand over the coming decades. The TransWest Express Project, a 732-mile-long, high-voltage transmission line across the Western US, has been approved to transport renewable energy. The project is part of the Biden administration's aim to substantially enhance energy infrastructure across the country in line with the green transition.
