As the demand for new transmission infrastructure grows, so too do the challenges around permitting, local opposition, and community engagement. This webinar will share new insights from two significant reports—Lessons Along the Road to Transmission (upcoming release on July 30, 2025) and The PACE of Trust (published Jan. 2025)—that explore the realities of siting transmission projects across the US.
Join experts from the Great Plains Institute, DNV, and Americans for a Clean Energy Grid to learn what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to engaging communities, navigating permitting systems, and advancing equitable, durable energy infrastructure.
What You’ll Learn:
- Practical takeaways from siting efforts around the country.
- How to embed justice and economic opportunity into transmission planning.
- Regulatory and policy opportunities to ease permitting barriers.
- Why trust is central to getting projects over the finish line

Christina Hayes, Executive Director, Americans for a Clean Energy Grid
