“Initial results from Niskanen Center and Grid Strategies’ Winter Storm Fern report underscore the need for more interregional transmission capacity and new grid resources of all forms to meet rising demand for electricity while keeping prices low. In particular, generator performance varied by region and by fuel type while gas supply constraints and transmission congestion increased costs to consumers.” (03/17/26)
