Deep dives
Importance of Addressing Grid and Transmission Bottlenecks
California's transition to clean energy is facing challenges due to grid and transmission bottlenecks. The state's transmission grid is oversubscribed, resulting in delays for interconnecting clean energy projects. This backlog also affects new residential developments and other sites that require grid power. California's goals for electric vehicle adoption and building electrification face obstacles due to inadequate charging infrastructure and interconnection delays. To address these issues, utilities, policymakers, and regulators need to work together to resolve roadblocks and improve the grid infrastructure.
