NGG•Load growth and resilience drivers
The study covered the Northeast, PJM, SERC, SPP and MISO South, citing AI, data centers and manufacturing as key load drivers.
Findings also tied stronger interregional transmission to improved resilience for defense and critical infrastructure during disruptions.
Study says interregional transmission is lowest-cost option
