Let us know how we're doing - text us feedback or thoughts on episode content

The boom of renewable energy resources has been an undisputed success story. But it's opened up new challenges in how to upgrade an aging power grid to handle these new power sources. 70% of our transmission network is 25 years or older - and we're going to need massive investment into the grid if we're going to integrate the pipeline of projected renewable projects properly.

In this episode, Paul discusses the challenges with transmission, some of the efforts that FERC and other federal bodies are trying to do to unlock further investment, and even dives into some of the emerging technologies that are helping us do more with the existing infrastructure that we already have.
