America is a powerhouse that puts food on the table, invents breakthrough
technologies, and builds for the future. Our electric infrastructure must be:
Secure
A secure power grid is built to withstand surges in energy demand that can cause blackouts, cyber and terrorist attacks from America’s enemies, and power outages caused by extreme weather.
Reliable
A reliable power grid means not having to worry about whether your home will have access to electricity even in the most extreme conditions. It allows businesses to operate at full capacity. It gives families peace of mind and energy security.
Affordable
An affordable power grid utilizes modern innovations to maximize efficiency so consumers pay less on their electricity bills, even as power demand grows.
China is investing 5 times more in critical transmission infrastructure than the United States. We can’t allow the United States to fall behind. America’s power depends on our grid’s security.
Join us in securing America’s grid.
Transmission
Whether you call it the power grid, power distribution grid, electrical grid, or national grid, this electrical network generates and distributes electricity across a large area. The network includes energy utility companies and energy suppliers that deliver electricity to your home or business. The power grid also consists of the infrastructure to generate and distribute power. The power grid does three things: It ensures best practice use of energy resources, provides greater power supply capacity, and makes power system operations more economical and reliable.
