The development of a long-distance transmission line project buried along railroad corridors, called SOO Green HVDC Link, has already begun to produce trickle-down benefits to other energy sectors.

New Jersey is the first and only state to fully align its offshore wind transmission goals with its regional grid operator’s planning process--a move that could establish the Garden State as the epicenter of a burgeoning new industry.

The clean energy sector has seen growing momentum around the creation of a federal transmission investment tax credit (ITC), driven by increasingly measurable impacts of climate change and the need to invest in a more resilient, majority-renewables grid.
