Midwest Does [Regional Transmission] Best! Join Midwest grid experts on Dec. 12 from 2-3 p.m. ET for a webinar hosted by the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) to discuss the Board of Directors' vote on a massive portfolio of regional transmission projects that would help ensure affordable, reliable electricity for consumers. The 24 proposed high-voltage transmission lines — Tranche 2.1 of the region's Long Range Transmission Planning process — are projected to deliver at least $23.1 billion in net benefits over the first 20 years in service and help accommodate new electricity generation to meet demand growth. The panel will discuss the benefits of MISO's second portfolio, how MISO succeeded in reaching consensus on such a historic build, and key takeaways other regions should consider as they seek to comply with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regional transmission planning and cost allocation rule, Order 1920. Featuring: ?? Beth Soholt, Clean Grid Alliance ?? Jeremiah Doner, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) ?? Tyler Huebner, Google ?? Kevin O'Rourke, ACORE Register here: https://lnkd.in/e5gUeUr8
关于我们
Clean Grid Alliance's mission is to advance renewable energy in the Midwest. We work to create new opportunities for renewables to participate in the energy marketplace in nine Midwestern states, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. We do this by bringing our diverse membership of clean energy advocacy organizations and businesses together toward our vision of delivering a renewable energy future and leveraging our technical expertise to expand markets and build support. Launched in 2001 to create a “road to market” for wind energy, Clean Grid Alliance has broadened its scope of work to also include solar, storage and other emerging technologies. Our work continues to concentrate on policy and technical aspects of connecting wind, solar, storage, and hybrid projects to the transmission grid and delivering that renewable energy to market. We do this by focusing on transmission planning, creating equitable rules that govern the use of the electric grid, laying the public policy foundation on which to build a robust renewable energy future in the Midwest, and educating key decision makers at state regulatory agencies and legislatures as well as the general public about the benefits of renewables. Clean Grid Alliance is working to: * Create new opportunities for renewables to participate in the energy marketplace * Drive grid policy and transmission planning * Conduct broad education and outreach activities in the Midwest Clean Grid Alliance is a non-profit organization whose members include wind, solar, and storage developers and manufacturers, non-profit environmental, public interest and clean energy advocacy organizations, farmer organizations, and other businesses that support renewable energy. Clean Grid Alliance is the leading clean energy advocacy group in the Midwest, and the regional affiliate of the American Clean Power Association.

RWE and Peabody Energy are partnering to develop renewable energy projects on repurposed mining lands in the Midwest. The renewable projects planned for the reclaimed lands have the potential to generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 850,000 homes across the region. The partnership will allow for projects to be developed in rural areas without impacting farmland, while still bringing important economic benefits to the area.

Good news! The North Dakota Public Service Commission approved the 95-mile Jamestown to Ellendale transmission line. The line is part of MISO's broader Tranche 1 proposal, which is expected to create thousands of jobs and generate between $20.6 to $39.1 billion in economic benefits for the Midwest. The Jamestown to Ellendale line, specifically, will increase access to low-cost energy across North Dakota and western Minnesota. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gw5taU5D

The clean energy transition is here to stay, regardless of the outcome of any presidential election, because it is driven by market forces, consumer demand, and rapid innovation. Renewables like solar and wind are now the cost-competitive energy option, thanks to remarkable cost declines (e.g., solar prices have dropped 90% in the last decade!) And the momentum is clear here in Minnesota, where the clean energy sector has reached a record-breaking milestone of over 62,000 jobs, growing five times faster than the state’s overall economy. As CEEM's Gregg Mast writes along with Clean Grid Alliance's Beth Soholt, "Whether encouraged or merely tolerated by the federal government, clean energy is poised to define the next era of U.S. economic growth and leadership on the global stage. The White House might influence the pace, but the destination is inevitable." Read more about how clean energy is shaping America’s future:?https://lnkd.in/gtAHeBWB
