Transmission Planning

Transmission planning involves designing and maintaining the electrical grid that delivers electricity from power plants to homes and businesses. It ensures the network has enough capacity, correct routes, and reliability to handle current demand and future growth. Engineers analyze factors like energy sources, demand patterns, and technological advances to create a robust, efficient system. Proper planning minimizes outages, reduces costs, and supports integration of renewable energy. In essence, it’s about strategically designing the pathways that safely and efficiently transmit electricity across regions, ensuring everyone has a continuous, reliable power supply.
