The DOE announces $1.5B for four transmission projects – including connecting the Texas grid to the Southeast grids for the first time ever.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announces $1.5B for four transmission projects – including connecting the Texas grid to the rest of the US for the first time ever.

The projects, spanning multiple states, will add nearly 1,000 miles of new transmission lines and increase grid capacity by 7,100 megawatts (MW). They’ll boost grid reliability, lower energy costs, and support the clean energy transition.

    So another lose lose for the rest of us. Texas gets to mooch off of us when their third world grid can’t handle the load and tax payers have to pay for the connection.
