#EnergyTwitter I'm excited to announce my first RMI report, "Mind the Regulatory Gap: How to Enhance Local Transmission Oversight." In this 🧵, I explain why this is such a critical issue harming Tx planning and customer bills across the US. https://t.co/7W9teO4AK5

[Claire Wayner @ClaireWayner]

My team @RockyMtnInst just launched a webpage explaining our work. Take a look! 🧵

There's also a downloadable resource library Excel file of major reports on transmission published in the past ~10 years, compiled by yours truly 🤓

2 months later, I finally got a chance to review @ethree_inc's new paper on interregional transmission that they wrote for @NARUC. It's a good summary of the issues interregional Tx faces, albeit a bit repetitive of the extensive literature out there on this topic already 🧵

A plug for RMI's States in Sync report to learn more about why regional cooperation on transmission planning and leadership from states is so important: https://t.co/dSghXJf8dX

[Tyler Farrell @TylerFarrell330]

Important leadership from the Governors of Arizona and New Mexico on the urgent need for regional cooperation on transmission planning in the West! Highlighting the critical work of WestTEC, CREPC, and merchant developers. https://t.co/fqKTIdXkat

@tylerhnorris beyond "there is no process and it doesn`t work" 🤣

@tylerhnorris 🙋‍♂️We are working on this exactly within the transmission team at RMI. Reach out to me if you have any insights or thoughts!

Great reporting by @jacobmaranda5 and Albuquerque Business First on the value of inter-state transmission for New Mexico! https://t.co/fvvqlzlhXu

New analysis from @RockyMtnInst finds Colorado, Montana, New Mexico and Wyoming could make $50 billion exporting clean electricity by 2050 -- but only if we find a way to start building new power lines a lot faster: https://t.co/Hh1Vm62a1g

Great reporting by @WMyskow and Inside Climate News on our recently released report, States in Sync! https://t.co/7Ue3F6BIfM

Finally, I'll be speaking more about our report at the CREPC-WIRAB Spring Conference on April 25th. You can also tune in to our webinar on May 8th at 12pm MST/2PM EST. Thank you to everyone who played a role in advising and supporting this work. (8/8)https://t.co/DlWJOhgWMI

First, we find that investment in new energy markets will grow rapidly over the coming decades with the market peaking at over $45 billion per year by 2050. The key to accessing this market will be inter-state transmission to move electricity to these new markets. (2/8)

[Tyler Farrell @TylerFarrell330]

Luckily, there is momentum in the West, and we want to make sure that the public and policymakers are aware of the economic potential of expanding regional transmission to capitalize on the positive moves already taking place across the region. (7/8)

[Tyler Farrell @TylerFarrell330]

The western US is on the cusp of two multi-billion-dollar economic opportunities that rely on one thing: more regional electric transmission. In this report, @ChazTeplin and I show how transmission expansion is a win-win opportunity for all states: (1/8)https://t.co/dSghXJfG3v

#energytwitter do you like big transmission lines & you cannot lie?

@RMIElectricity is recruiting six early- to mid-career candidates for our new yearlong Transmission Fellowship program. Applications due 3/22/24. Take a look! https://t.co/Py4VF6oZeo
