Description
Description | Utilities in the United States are investing heavily in modernizing and maintaining the electric grid infrastructure, including poles, wires, substations, and transformers. This is necessary as large portions of the electric grid are nearing the end of their 50-year life spans and need replacing. Additionally, utilities are hardening lines and equipment to deal with storms, fires, and heat waves, particularly as climate change fuels bigger weather disasters. The cost of this network maintenance and upgrade has nearly tripled since 2005, contributing significantly to rising electricity prices. |
