We agree: transmission lowers costs only when cost allocation is right. Beneficiary-pays and real cost-benefit analysis protect ratepayers and drive smarter investment. @rtoinsider

TWTC prioritizes affordable, reliable transmission. Massachusetts’s new Canada–New England transmission line highlights the point: more high-capacity transmission brings lower costs, price stability, and cleaner power for consumers. https://t.co/wmqO0kxQMK
