California ISO - Taking the Long View: The ISO’s Collaborative Approach to Transmission Planning & Coordination (caiso.com)

April 25, 2024


A commonly heard refrain during these transformational times in the power industry is “No transition without transmission.” Indeed, the urgent need to provide additional transmission infrastructure to meet the rising demand for electricity and onboard new resources quickly and cost-effectively is a growing concern throughout the West and much of the nation. It is now well understood that major transmission upgrades can take a decade or more to plan, finance, build and connect to the system.

In California, where the state has dramatically accelerated the pace for integrating new clean resources onto the grid, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) is working collaboratively and creatively with state agencies, utilities and other key stakeholders to ensure sufficient transmission to deliver that power to consumers. At the same time, the ISO is collaborating with partners around the region to improve interconnectivity and share diverse resources to meet energy policy objectives.

In just the past four years, the ISO has integrated more than 15,000 megawatts (MW) of new resources onto the grid. And by this summer, battery storage assets on the system will reach about 10,000 MW – a critical tool in achieving resource adequacy goals and maintaining grid reliability during extreme heat and wildfires. But as the chart on this page illustrates, we must sustain and even exceed this pace of resource integration for many years to come. To that end, the ISO and our partners have taken a number of steps to stay apace with clean-energy goals while addressing grid resiliency and affordability.......
