The demand for cleaner electric energy grows each year with the electrification of transportation, space conditioning, vertical agriculture, industrial processes, and hyper-scalers. Some say that America will double or triple its current peak demand requirements by 2050.
In addition, the need to replace aging assets, the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and the demand for resilience against high-impact storms and wildfires has a compounded impact on current planning, design, operations and maintenance of the electric transmission and distribution (T&D) grid that delivers energy to load. This growth will require a huge, prudent investment in safe, reliable and resilient T&D lines that deliver measurable value over the life of the assets.
