DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Building a Better Grid Initiative To
Upgrade and Expand the Nation’s
Electric Transmission Grid To Support
Resilience, Reliability, and
Decarbonization
Office of Electricity,
Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
In this notice, the Department
of Energy (DOE or the Department)
unveils its new Building a Better Grid
Initiative focused on catalyzing
nationwide development of new and
upgraded high-capacity transmission
lines. Under the Building a Better Grid
Initiative, DOE will identify critical
national transmission needs and
support the buildout of long-distance,
high-voltage transmission facilities that
meet those needs through collaborative
transmission planning, innovative
financing mechanisms, coordinated
permitting, and continued transmission
related research and development. DOE
commits to robust engagement on
energy justice and collaboration,
including with states, American Indian
Tribes and Alaska Natives, industry,
unions, local communities, and other
stakeholders for successful
implementation of the program.

Michelle Manary, Acting Deputy
Assistant Secretary, Electricity Delivery
Division, Office of Electricity, Mailstop

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
A robust transmission system is
critical to the Nation’s economic,
energy, and national security. However,
the United States faces challenges as its
electric grid infrastructure continues to
age—studies from the past decade find
that 70 percent of the grid’s
transmission lines and power
transformers were over 25 years old.1 2
In addition, insufficient transmission
capacity—especially transmission that
facilitates transfer of power across

regions—presents another critical
challenge facing the grid. Upgrading and
expanding the current transmission
system will enhance grid reliability and
resilience and enable the cost-effective
integration of clean energy.
Modernizing, hardening, and
expanding the grid will enhance the
resilience of our entire electric system,
and ensure that electricity is available to
customers when it is needed most.
Aging infrastructure leaves the grid
increasingly vulnerable to attacks.3 The
increasing frequency of extreme weather
events is leading to energy supply
disruptions that threaten the economy,
put public health and safety at risk, and
can devastate affected communities all
over the country. Investment in
transmission infrastructure can help
protect the grid against supply
disruptions due to physical and cyberattacks or climate-induced extreme
weather, minimize the impact of supply
disruptions when they happen, and
restore electricity more quickly when
outages do occur.
Expanding transmission capacity also
improves reliability by creating stronger
and more numerous energy delivery
pathways, helping to ensure that
consumers have a dependable source of
electricity to power their homes,
schools, and businesses. When one
generation source is physically
unavailable or uneconomic,
transmission enables delivery from
other generation sources, making the
system better equipped to meet delivery
requirements under the broader range of
real circumstances and stresses seen in
recent years.
Electric grid investment also spurs
economic growth. Investment in the grid
will create demand for well-paying jobs
in construction and will drive
innovation, commercialization, and
deployment of energy technologies that
can spur new businesses. Moreover,
clean energy generation is increasingly
the least-cost option in many parts of
the country, and investment in
transmission will play a critical role in
unlocking the deployment of greater
renewable energy generation.
Transmission is critical to addressing
the climate crisis through the
decarbonization of the power sector and
electrification of transportation and
other sectors. The climate crisis
accelerates the need for the United
States to modernize its electric grid. To
