Transmission Trends
A significant slowdown in load growth and excess generation capacity led to a lull in transmission build-out after the 1970s. While there was a notable surge in high-voltage transmission lines in the early 2000s, driven by wind energy and competitive markets, the last decade has seen a stark decline in new infrastructure development. Factors such as cheaper local solar and natural gas have influenced this trend, resulting in a mere fraction of the previous build-out levels.In this clip
