This report provides a 2025 snapshot of Colombia's electricity transmission sector, highlighting a structural backlog in infrastructure that threatens the integration of expanding renewable energy generation.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute provides a 2025 overview of Colombia's electricity transmission sector, detailing the institutional framework of the National Interconnected System (SIN) and the structural challenges hindering the integration of new renewable energy generation.

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative evaluates five alternative project financing models to help Indonesia's state-owned electricity firm, PLN, meet the USD 24 billion investment requirement for its 2025–2034 transmission expansion goals.

The report analyzes five alternative project finance models—leasing, joint ventures, PPPs, InvITs, and CIS-DINFRA—to help Indonesia's state-owned utility PLN fund a USD 24 billion transmission expansion target for 2025–2034. It argues that shifting from corporate to project finance can reduce balance sheet pressure and attract private capital, provided that key policy enablers are implemented, including dedicated transmission fees, off-balance sheet accounting treatment, and government fiscal support.

This guide by RMI outlines how state regulators in the United States can implement recently passed legislation to deploy advanced transmission technologies (ATTs), such as grid enhancing technologies (GETs) and advanced conductors, to lower electricity costs and improve grid reliability.

This report chapter examines the challenges of grid connection capacity for renewable energy projects in Turkey and globally, highlighting how infrastructure limitations, economic risks, and procedural inefficiencies delay the energy transition.

This policy brief by RMI argues that the United States does not need further studies to justify expanding interregional electricity transmission, as the need is already well-documented. The author contends that current grid bottlenecks are delaying clean energy projects and increasing vulnerability to extreme weather, urging Congress to implement minimum transfer requirements, mandate proactive planning, and streamline permitting processes.

This report summarizes a workshop hosted by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) and the Florence School of Regulation on October 20, 2011. The discussions focused on the planning, regulation, and financing of European electricity transmission infrastructure, specifically in the context of integrating renewable energy and the implementation of the European Commission's proposed Infrastructure Package.
