Western states are charting a course to rapidly transition the region’s electricity system and transportation sector to 100% clean energy through a combination of aggressive state energy and transportation policies and voluntary utility and large customer commitments. At the same time, extreme heat and wildfires are threatening the electric grid along with life and property. Can a more integrated regional transmission grid with competitive regional wholesale markets help states meet their clean energy targets and their resilience challenges? What role will states have in guiding an expanded regional grid toward these goals while maintaining a focus on achieving their clean energy targets?
