Font size:
IRJ Mar 17 - Through its CEO, Denise Bode, the American Wind Association (AWEA) today launched a statement which praised recommendations by the Governors to the President and Congress regarding a need for interstate transmission infrastructure and Renewable Electricity Standards.
“The Governors know this because they are on the front lines of the battle to attract manufacturing investment and create jobs, and they see that renewable energy development brings jobs to their states,” the statement says.
“States are also on the front lines in transmission planning—and in this document, the Governors make it clear that they look forward to working with the federal government to build new interstate high-voltage transmission lines to diversify our energy portfolio with renewable energy, improve the reliability of the nation’s power system, and contain electricity costs.”
