Annual spending by major U.S. electric utilities on the U.S. electric transmission system has increased from $9.1 billion (2019 dollars) in 2000 to $40.0 billion in 2019. This spending includes investment in new transmission infrastructure as well as the operation and maintenance of existing transmission systems. Based on information compiled from reports to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), spending is leveling off but still rose 3% from 2018 to 2019. Of the $40.0 billion that major utilities spent in 2019, $23.5 billion was on new transmission investment, a 1% increase over the previous year. Utilities spent $16.6 billion on transmission system operations and maintenance (O&M) in 2019, 7% more than in 2018.

Power plants are often located far from customers, requiring large networks of transmission power lines to deliver electricity. In 2019, most utility spending on transmission system O&M was on payments to transmit electricity on power lines owned by other utilities or independent transmission owners. Most new transmission investment has been on station equipment, poles, and overhead power lines. These investments replaced aging infrastructure, enhanced grid reliability and resilience during extreme weather events, reduced congestion, and connected to renewable resources. Some recently completed and ongoing major projects include:
In March 2020, FERC proposed to revise its electric transmission incentive policy to stimulate the development of transmission infrastructure needed to support the nation’s evolving renewable generation resource mix, technological innovation, and shifts in load patterns. Transmission incentives, currently based on the risks and challenges faced by a particular transmission project, would be contingent on the expected benefits provided to consumers.
