Utility Dive explores our need for policies, like rights-of-first refusal, that help our industry rely on local transmission owners with their deep knowledge of the needs of local communities to expedite project development. Take the dive with them:
Transmission at a crossroads: Policy must reflect today’s infrastructure needs
State and federal “rights-of-first-refusal” would re-establish certainty by relying on local transmission owners to promptly move ahead with needed power line projects.

Thanks to data from the SEIA (@solarindustry.bsky.social), we’re seeing just how far solar has come. One impressive fact: 33 states now have more than 1 GW of installed solar capacity — a massive leap from just three states a decade ago. Read more about it:
Top five solar states grow in capacity and investment
The Solar Energy Industries Association ranks California, Texas, Florida, Arizona and North Carolina as the top five states in solar capacity.
