The Role of Transmission in California's Clean Energy Future
California is enhancing its transmission system to facilitate the transition to a reliable, clean, and affordable energy system. The updated system will deliver electricity over long distances, connecting communities across the state to abundant renewable resources located throughout California and the West. By modernizing the transmission system, California will enhance reliability during extreme weather events, decrease reliance on fossil fuel resources, and efficiently interconnect clean energy resources to meet the state’s growing electricity demand.
The following webpages detail the planning, approval, construction, and maintenance processes of California’s transmission system, and provide additional information and links to resources and public processes.
