LineVision and GE team up to fortify the electrical grid to handle more renewables

One of the biggest hurdles to decarbonizing the grid is getting electricity from point A to point B.
But that’s often easier said than done. Today, nearly a terawatt of zero-carbon generating capacity is waiting to be hooked up to the grid. That’s enough to decarbonize 80% of U.S. electricity by the end of the decade, according to the Lawrence Berkeley Lab.
To get there, though, the grid needs some upgrades, which also couldn’t come at a better time. The U.S. electrical grid is aging — 70% of transmission lines are over 25 years old — and outmoded  — it was originally designed with massive fos
