Heat waves, droughts, and fires place growing stress on the West’s electric grid. More integrated management of electricity resources across the region could significantly reduce risk of power outages and accelerate transition to clean energy. If utilities across the area expanded current schemes to share electricity, outage risks could be cut by as much as 40% and help ensure public opinion and policy remain favorable for renewable energy growth.
