Unlocking Grid Potential: Advancing Line Rating Technologies for a Clean Energy Future
The world urgently needs power grid modernization to meet ambitious clean energy goals. A recent study by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory revealed that nearly 2,000 gigawatts of solar, storage, and wind energy remain stalled in transmission grid interconnection queues—far more than the current U.S. grid can handle. Without decisive action, this bottleneck threatens to slow the clean energy transition.
In this session, Basin Electric Power Cooperative will explore how line rating technologies, advanced tools, and a shift in mindset are helping utilities accurately assess grid capacity, streamline modernization efforts, and pave the way for a more efficient, resilient, and renewable-powered future. Attendees will gain insights into:
- Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) and Advanced Grid Monitoring – How real-time data is redefining how utilities understand transmission limits.
- Grid Optimization Strategies – Prioritizing the right projects to enhance capacity without unnecessary infrastructure expansion.
- The Mindset Shift – How utilities are evolving their approach to grid management, embracing innovation to accelerate the clean energy transition.
With increasing energy demand and a pressing need to integrate more renewables, the time for action is now. Join Basin Electric Power Cooperative to explore practical solutions that will unlock grid potential and drive the energy transformation forward.
