The Investments Proposed Help Us Achieve Four Key Goals:
- Meet our customers increasing electricity demands as they use more and more electronic devices and turn to cleaner sources of energy for their home, business and transportation needs.
- Safeguard our systems against extreme weather events.
- Integrate and optimize renewable energy and storage at all levels.
- Provide modern energy infrastructure to spur economic development and growth.
Foundational to meeting these goals is modernizing the electric grid — the generation, transmission and distribution systems that delivers power where you need it, when you need it. We’re transforming yesterday’s one-way power delivery system, which was designed to carry electricity from large power generating stations long distances to homes and businesses, into tomorrow’s cleaner, smarter, two-way superhighway with many on-ramps and off-ramps to connect and transport the wind and solar power now produced in our region.
