AEP: The electric interstate highway of the future
Description
The nation is in critical need of new transmission infrastructure to eliminate transmission bottlenecks that reduce system reliability and raise energy costs for electricity users. In this video, AEP explains its vision of a nationwide interstate transmission system modeled after the national interstate highway network. AEP believes its vision, conceptually known as I-765, will efficiently deliver wholesale power regionally within a competitive market while enhancing regional reliability.
It has taken a while, but more and more observers are calling the Texas "experiment" with retail competition a success... and even suggesting it may be a model for the rest of the country. Is it?
