SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – Quarterly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Since the start of the MID-GRID 2035 effort in late 2019\, the Midwest has made considerable progress toward the vision outlined by the states. Regional and interregional transmission planning is taking place at a scale not before contemplated\, and new generation investments have provided economic development and other benefits. Simultaneously\, the region has dealt with multiple major weather events\, grid reliability challenges\, increasing costs due to global economic turmoil and record inflation\, and an increasing rate of generation retirements.As we look back at where MID-GRID 2035 began and now toward where this work will go\, the nature of the challenges and opportunities ahead has shifted and this event will set the stage for what we hope to tackle in MID-GRID 2035 2.0.More information can be found here.
