About This Video Project

In this video, we explore the critical role of the electric transmission system, which functions like a highway for electricity, transporting power generated from various sources—such as natural gas, wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear—right to where it’s needed.

We delve into how substations manage voltage levels to ensure safe delivery and highlight the importance of this infrastructure, often overlooked until it’s in need of repair. As America’s electric transmission system ages, it faces significant challenges, including congestion, higher costs, and a growing demand for reliable power. With portions dating back nearly a century, the current grid must evolve to address severe weather events and cyber threats.

This video emphasizes the importance of collaboration between energy providers and local communities to create solutions that meet the needs of everyone involved.
