The White House Announced Plans To Modernize America’s Electric Grid

The initiative between the government and 21 states aims to make quicker repairs and improvements to the aging electrical infrastructure.

The White House announced plans to modernize America’s electrical grid.

The announcement comes as violent storms have left thousands without power in recent days.

Around 500,000 utility customers in Texas were without power as of early Wednesday, including over 200,000 in Dallas County alone.

The initiative between the government and 21 states aims to make quicker repairs and improvements to the aging electrical infrastructure.

Through the plan, officials will commit to build a larger and more modern grid as part of a colossal effort to reduce power outages and increase electrical transmission capacity.

The actions would mark a major step in getting more clean energy on the grid.
