Welcome to Energy Future Academy – Transmission 101

America’s electricity grid is one of the greatest engineering achievements in history, but most of us never think about how it works.

This module takes a closer look at the transmission system: the high-voltage highways that move electricity across states and regions. You’ll learn how it connects power plants to communities, why it’s essential for reliability and affordability, and how upgrading it will shape the clean energy future.

Transmission doesn’t just keep the lights on: it powers growth, competition, and American innovation. Let’s explore how strengthening the grid strengthens the nation.
