  • The document describes the electric transmission grid as an interconnected system that moves electricity from generation sites to consumers via the path of least resistance. It outlines the grid's division into three major interconnections—Western, Eastern, and Ercot—and notes that transmission is governed by a mix of federal, regional, state, and local entities. The text highlights the necessity of transmission for delivering remote clean energy and the requirement for billions of dollars in investment to meet electricity demand and support expanded generation from renewable and conventional sources.
