Software can unlock 300 GW of capacity on U.S. grid without building a single power plant
Reported bypv magazine ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Advanced grid-scanning software can unlock approximately 300 GW of hidden transmission capacity on the U.S. electric grid by recalculating grid reliability models (N-2 contingency criterion) that were previously based on conservative worst-case assumptions, offering near-term deployment of utility-scale solar and storage without new construction.
