The Resilient Grid: Transforming Energy Infrastructure to Meet Current Demand (Policy Focus Reports)

By Dare Brawley and Laura Tolkoff

The electric grid is a monumental feat of engineering, physics, and economics. The grid works so well to meet our daily needs that we barely notice it. As a consequence, the grid and the way it operates have hardly changed in more than 60 years. However, the New York metropolitan region is changing rapidly and faces new challenges that demand more from the grid than ever before. To get in front of climate change and other problems, the New York New Jersey Connecticut region needs a grid that is reliable, resilient, flexible, and able to incorporate more renewable power generation. This report sets out a vision for the 21st-century grid and recommends a set of actions that policymakers can take to transform energy infrastructure."
