$2.2B for 13 GW of New Transmission Capacity: DOE Unveils Latest Boost for U.S. Grid Modernization

"GRIP allocates $700 million for the North Plains Connector Interregional Innovation (NPCII) project in Montana and North Dakota to develop a 3-GW high-voltage direct current (HVDC) voltage source converter (VSC) transmission line bridging the Western and Eastern Interconnections. 'The core project, North Plains Connector, would be the first HVDC project to connect three regional control entities: the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), and Southwest Power Pool (SPP),' the DOE noted. The North Plains Connector is an approximately 415-mile and up to 525 kV HVDC line that is still in the planning and development phase. Approvals are expected in 2026, and the line could be operational as early as 2031."

China Needs to Kick its Coal Habit at Home, Too

It is much more important for China—the world’s biggest consumer and producer of coal—to make a similar commitment at home. China added around three-quarters of the world’s new coal plants last year, according to Global Energy Monitor. Coal-power capacity outside China has been declining since 2018, as the U.S. and Europe had retired their plants.
