This brochure describes the mission, vision, and value proposition of WIRES, an international non-profit trade association dedicated to promoting investment in the North American electric transmission system.
Key insights
- WIRES is an international non-profit business association that focuses exclusively on promoting investment in the electric transmission system. Its membership includes transmission entities, customers, developers, vendors, and technology companies operating in North America.
- Transmission providers currently face several operational and regulatory challenges, including aging infrastructure, resistance to siting new facilities, scarcity of skilled labor and materials, and the need to integrate remote renewable energy resources.
- WIRES advocates for several policy and planning goals to modernize the grid, including the implementation of effective regional and inter-regional planning, the removal of uneconomic barriers to investment, the establishment of efficient siting processes, and the equitable allocation of costs among beneficiaries.
- The organization posits that a modernized transmission system provides multiple benefits, including increased reliability, lower costs through wholesale energy market access, and the effective integration of wind and other renewable energy.
