The transmission system in the U.S. is a major problem because it is old and because it is not set up for energy systems of the future.
, told CNBC. The system of transmission lines in the U.S. was built to serve that model of energy generation.
"That greater degree of variation in wind power potential means we need to build wind farms where it's really windy, and that tends to not be where too many people live! So wind power development is a big driver of expanded transmission needs," Jenkins told CNBC. "But consumers benefit from the cheap generation that transmission enables," Gramlich said. He advocates for replacing old infrastructure with advanced technology that can handle next generation transmission needs.
From the late 1970's through the early 2000's, the U.S. transmission grid expanded at about 2% per year, Jenkins told CNBC.
