The funds: The recently refreshed plan spreads over $15B across 574 transmission projects, including nearly $6B steered by load growth. Such projects “are paid for by existing customers, despite the fact that these projects are pretty clearly ‘but for’ driven by the large load interconnection request,” wrote Claire Wayner, a senior associate at RMI, on LinkedIn.
