U.S. electric grid's rapid buildout is expanding at a pace that could effectively add another grid as large as the country's biggest regional power system by 2030, global consulting firm ICF International said on Thursday.
A report from Reston, Virginia-based ICF forecasts 445 gigawatts (GW) of U.S. capacity additions through 2030. The grid's buildout is happening at a frenetic pace as power-hungry data centers, electric vehicle charging and heat pumps compete for access to power plants and transmission lines.
