Interactive Map: Visualizing The U.S. Electric Grid

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011
Power Plant Location

“The U.S. electric grid is a complex network of independently owned and operated power plants and transmission lines. Aging infrastructure, combined with a rise in domestic electricity consumption, has forced experts to critically examine the status and health of the nation’s electrical systems.”
-National Public Radio

An interactive map from National Public Radio visualizes the U.S. electric grid through transmission lines, sources of power, power plants. The map also displays the location and capacity of planned, potential and existing solar and wind power.

U.S. Solar Market Insight: 2nd Quarter 2010

Thursday, October 21st, 2010
Capacity

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION
Nearly all of the top 20 states experienced demand growth in the first half of 2010, although the pace of growth varied highly from state to state. California and New Jersey remained the largest state markets, but nine other states installed at least 10 MW in the first half of the year.

The rapid increase of solar energy generation has warranted a credible study that examines the size and scope of the industry that until now, has been lacking.

Transmission Policy for Solar Generation

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION
Solar generators are stuck playing by the rules crafted in an era of coal‐fired power plants. What we need now is an investment in infrastructure to connect areas rich in solar resources with major population centers. A new, solar‐ friendly transmission grid will only be possible if significant changes are made to transmission policy in this country.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
