Investment in electric infrastructure is crucial to meet growing demand in Texas, driven by economic growth, population increase, and electrification. Timely expansion of transmission lines is needed to accommodate projected load growth and ensure reliable electricity supply. Similar challenges exist in expanding the US high-voltage transmission grid, highlighting the need for comprehensive solutions to maximize renewable energy potential. In the southeast, reliable natural gas is essential for economic growth, as solar and wind alone cannot provide inexpensive and reliable generation at scale. Reshoring, electrification, and AI-driven expansion will drive sustained electric demand growth in the US, necessitating investment in transmission, regional transfers, and nuclear energy. #ElectricInfrastructure #RenewableEnergy #NaturalGas #ElectricDemand #Investment...
