Summary
The Department of Energy wants your thoughts on three possible new electric transmission corridors that could help Tribal communities, the Southwest, and the Lake Erie-Canada area get better energy access. They’re reopening the comment period until April 15, 2025, so everyone—governments, groups, and the public—has more time to share ideas. This could lead to big improvements in energy flow and support for local economies.
