Affordable Power

An abundant and diverse mix of power generation sources is key in helping power companies across the country deliver more affordable electricity to their customers. When consumers have more choices, costs come down.

So, a modern transmission grid that can effectively tap into those sources—and then move their power efficiently through the system—is an important first step in the affordable electricity equation.

Efficiencies achieved by investments in grid modernization enable billions of dollars in annual savings, which are passed along to customers. When it comes to your electricity bill, transmission accounts for the smallest portion of the total cost—only thirteen percent, on average, nationally.
