| | A new assessment of the Eastern U.S. grid shows it will
theoretically be able to handle 30% renewables within 10 years, but only with
serious upgrades to the bulk power system. The forecast takes into account only
existing technologies, but that doesn’t mean the capability will be automatic.
Increasing on today’s 40 GW of wind and solar in the region will only make
sense if there’s adequate transmission to deliver the electricity to off-takers. Whether that will happen remains up in the air, experts told Utility Dive. | | >> Read more |

| | Improve high voltage reliability | | Lower total cost of ownership with preventive maintenance | | High voltage circuit breakers are an important power grid component for system switching and protection. These critical assets are a significant investment for grid owners so keeping them reliable and making them last longer will lower the total cost of ownership. Preventive maintenance is the key to achieving these two goals. There are five preventive maintenance steps we recommend you implement into your yearly maintenance plan for high voltage circuit breakers. | | >> Find out more | | |

| “Many renewable plants produce significantly more power than can be transmitted and the generators are forced to curtail production, resulting in a revenue loss. Energy storage can help recoup those losses.” | | - Pat Hayes, Business Development Manager for Energy Storage Solutions at ABB |
