California unveils $7.3B plan to address transmission issues.

California's grid operator, CAISO, has approved a $7.3 billion plan to build thousands of miles of new high-voltage transmission lines to connect the state's massive amount of new clean energy to the grid. The plan seeks to address the clean energy challenge plaguing the entire nation, not just California, of not having enough transmission to connect the new clean energy being developed to the grid. The plan includes upfront information on where major clean energy development is being planned in zones across the state, enabling much more accurate forecasting of how much new energy capacity it will allow to be brought online.
