As the use of renewable energy by electric utility providers continues to grow, the U.S. electric grid faces increasing pressures to both serve a growing fleet of electric vehicles and withstand the worsening impacts of weather.
For perspective, the U.S. power grid is comprised of more than 7,300 power plants, nearly 160,000 miles of high-voltage power lines, millions of miles of low-voltage power lines and distribution transformers, all connecting 145 million homes and businesses across the country.
