transmission infrastructure

New York State has announced plans to speed up the permitting process for distributed renewable energy and transmission projects, alongside an initiative to boost access to community solar.

The Queensland Government in Australia will build a new transmission line called ‘CopperString 2.0’ that will unlock 6GW of renewables.

The New York State Public Service Commission has approved US$4.4 billion for transmission upgrades that will boost the uptake of renewables.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will deploy 241GW of solar PV by 2030, with the technology dominating new capacity additions.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has launched a “Building a Better Grid” initiative to catalyse the development of “new and upgraded high-capacity electric transmission lines” across the US under President Joe Biden’s US$1 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
