What Are Non-Wires Alternatives?

Between increased electric demand and a surge in extreme weather events, utility providers face a mounting challenge to enhance grid resiliency. In the U.S., nearly 83% of all outages between 2000-2021 were attributed to weather-related events. In fact, weather-related outages have increased by around 78% between 2011-2021. Because of this, the Biden Administration has called for real-time reporting on outages to better plot where and when it’s happening. In many cases, enhancing grid resiliency may come with high infrastructure costs like replacing or updating transformers and lines.
