Transmission Companies Thrive on Renewable Energy Demand and Grid Transformation.

The demand for renewable energy has created a need for more infrastructure, particularly long-distance transmission lines, to deliver power from remote renewable energy sources to population centers. Houston has emerged as a hub for companies looking to address this disconnect, with a sub-industry of firms dedicated to facilitating engineering, property law, procurement, and construction for those working on electricity infrastructure. However, challenges remain, including the long approval and permitting process for transmission lines and finding the right investors.
