The need to build more transmission is critical to modernizing the electricity grid. Californias grid operator, CAISO, estimates that the state will need an additional $45.8 billion to $63.2 billion of transmission investment to achieve its goals of a carbon-free grid by 2045. This naturally begs the question, who is paying for this? And secondly, who is profiting from this?
