| description |
Scaling up renewable energy, such as
wind and solar, goes hand-in-hand with the expansion of
transmission infrastructure. The richest solar and wind
renewable energy sites are often located far away from
consumption centers or existing transmission networks.
Unlike fossil fuel-based power sources, renewable energy
sources are greatly site-constrained and, for this reason,
transmission networks need to be expanded to reach the
renewable energy sites. Delivering transmission is a
challenge, given the dispersion and granularity of renewable
sources. Tapping a few hundred megawatts of renewable energy
sources, such as wind and solar power, will likely require
delivering transmission to several sites. Furthermore,
transmission is also required to smooth out the variability
of new renewable sources in a large geographical area. For
these reasons, countries' renewable energy scale-up
efforts are being challenged by the need for timely and
efficient delivery of transmission networks. The objective
of this report is to present emerging lessons and
recommendations on approaches to efficiently and effectively
expand transmission networks for renewable energy scale-up.
The report focuses on the planning and regulatory aspects of
transmission expansion that are relevant to transmission
utilities and electricity regulators. |
