Building a Stronger, Smarter Grid for Texas

Affordable, Reliable Power for Texas’s Growing Future

As Texas continues to grow, our outdated transmission lines are holding us back. Texans for Affordable Transmission is fighting to modernize the state’s electric grid, ensuring reliable, affordable power for families, businesses, and communities across the state.

Key Benefits

Lower Energy Costs for Everyone

Upgrading our transmission infrastructure reduces costly congestion on the grid. In just 2022 and 2023, congestion alone cost Texans over $5 billion—costs that ultimately show up on utility bills. Modern lines help energy move more efficiently and affordably from where it’s generated to where it’s needed most.

Greater Reliability and Fewer Outages

Aging transmission lines make Texas’s electric grid more vulnerable to outages and instability. Modernizing these lines strengthens reliability, helping avoid blackouts and ensuring consistent power for homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure like data centers.

Powering Growth and Innovation

Texas’s energy demand is projected to nearly double by 2030. Without expanded and upgraded transmission capacity, projects get delayed and economic growth stalls. A 21st-century grid supports a 21st-century economy—driving job creation, investment, and long-term prosperity statewide.
