Learn to be a Substation Technician! New Western WYCC program provides "comprehensive training in areas such as electrical systems, power distribution, and safety protocols." "Our goal is to prepare our students for successful careers in the energy sector." #transmission

Our TransWest and Barnard-Wilson Joint Venture construction team meeting in Wyoming on July 15 included volunteer service to the City of Rawlins. Glad to be able to help! #communitysupport #makingadifference facebook.com/rawlinsgovernm…

Reminder that the state and partners established a Powerline Technology program and a new Substation Technician program at Western WY - a partner of the Carbon County Higher Education Center in Rawlins. westernwyoming.edu/academics/majo…

It’s really windy today at our Wyoming wind project site.

36 shovel-ready, high-voltage transmission projects would create around 1.3 million new jobs per ACEG Transmission delivers local economic benefits👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ cleanenergygrid.org/aceg-releases-… cleanenergygrid.org/aceg-releases-…

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. #gratitude

This #FactFriday, we’ll cover a #FAQ: Can we have wireless transmission of electricity? 💡 The transmission of electricity without wires would result in high efficiency losses & would not be cost effective with current technology. For more OE facts: energy.gov/oe/electricity…

"Private property rights are the cornerstone of our ranching traditions. These rights empower landowners to decide how best to use their land. They provide the freedom to innovate, diversify, and adapt to changing circumstances. This is particularly important for ranching

"We can't achieve energy dominance in this country if we can't get power to where it needs to go...The power grid doesn't care about where the electrons come from." -Tyler Duvelius Great read on the importance of transmission via Jeff St. John ⤵️ canarymedia.com/articles/trans…

"The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are currently 780,000 active electricians in the United States, with another 80,000 jobs open."

"there's an immediate opportunity to ensure the U.S. takes action to deploy advanced transmission technologies...as well as high-voltage regional and INTERREGIONAL TRANMISSION lines to accommodate power needs of the coming decades" (emphasis on interregional, like TWE Project)

What can help mitigate grid vulnerabilities? Additional transmission capacity. "There have been extensive studies, but a lot of that still is focused on: we need more capacity added to the grid as well and additional transmission." - DOE's Mike Goff 👇👇

🚨Exciting news out of Utah: TransWest Express construction is underway! Earlier this month, construction began on the TransWest Express transmission line, a 732-mile interregional project that spans Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. More at RTO Insider™: rtoinsider.com/105228-constru…

💡CAISO President and CEO Elliot Mainzer testified at a Energy and Commerce Committee hearing and shared how interregional transmission and resource diversity has "significantly improved reliability and affordability." Hear his full remarks:

On July 10, 1896, the IBEW's first president Henry Miller died on the job working as a lineworker. Today -- National Lineworker Appreciation Day -- we celebrate all lineworkers for all they do for our communities. #ThankaLineworker

"There's probably 20 high-quality studies all showing enormous consumer benefits if we get interregional transmission right...It's also often lowering costs for consumers, and it's certainly improving reliability." -EnergyAbe 📰 via RTO Insider™ rtoinsider.com/112900-states-…

Gratitude for all of the line workers, operators, landowners and everyone else collaborating to keep the US power grid reliable, modern and strong. #HappyThanksgiving
