![]() Solutions will require game-changing technology that can significantly increase the utilization of the electric grid. ![]() Meanwhile, US consumers pay more than $6B in transmission congestion costs, resulting in hundreds of GW (gigawatts) of renewable energy stuck in interconnection queues, waiting to connect to the grid.Īt the same time, grid utilization rates are often as low as 30-50%, meaning there is excess capacity on today’s wires that could be leveraged to solve these problems. A big part of the world’s electricity decarbonization challenge lies in expanding transmission capacity for renewables - and according to energy experts, Europe and the US are falling behind on that task.
