Mapping the Energy Transition
The energy transition is a multi-dimensional and complex process that is a crucial step in achieving U.S. climate and electrification goals.
The transition will require major investments in renewable energy production, transmission lines, smart grid monitoring and distribution equipment, and efficient energy storage.
Simultaneously, the transition will require leveraging the adoption of liquid electric fuels and alternative transportation where appropriate.
A multidimensional and complex process, the energy transition is a crucial step in achieving U.S. climate and electrification goals. Explore the facets of the modern energy grid and learn more about the energy transition through the interactive map below, featuring overviews and further readings of each key component.
Microgrids are useful for harnessing renewable energy resources and meeting demand during periods of national grid disruption. However, challenges related to siting, permitting, installation, and interoperability are limiting their growth.
