Description (excerpt):
The United States is entering a period of surging electricity demand growth, driven by the expansion of geopolitically and nationally strategic industries such as semiconductor chip manufacturing and artificial intelligence (AI). These sectors are critical to national competitiveness and economic development, but their success depends on reliable, affordable access to electricity. While new sources of generation are coming online, the high-voltage transmission system needed to deliver that power is not being built at the pace required to meet this rising demand.
