Tailored solutions

A backbone for infrastructure

Our high-voltage transmission systems improve reliability and resiliency across the power grid, acting as a backbone for energy infrastructure to facilitate power flows. Our proven approach includes planning, designing, building, operating, maintaining and owning transmission systems to solve complex power grid needs.

A Comprehensive approach to planning

We are pioneering a comprehensive approach to planning, building, and operating grid infrastructure that benefits consumers and businesses.

Our systems enable the delivery of diverse power generation sources across the grid’s footprint. Our philosophy focuses on delivering competitive electricity, protecting the environment, and collaborating with local communities. We provide value from start to finish and have a track record of managing costs effectively. We’ve completed over $2 billion in capital projects and keep our word on cost commitments to protect consumers from overruns.

We use a comprehensive approach in planning, building, and
operating grid infrastructure

1.
Competing

A study conducted in 2019 estimated that on average only 3% of U.S. transmission development projects had been awarded competitively from 2013-2017.1

When electricity transmission competition has been allowed, an estimated range of cost savings from 15-60% has been observed for new transmission projects.2

2.
Planning

We seek community and landowner input on projects.

We work closely with regulators.

We use surveys and studies to guide routing and siting of our projects.

3.
Designing

We adjust transmission routes, incorporate innovative designs, and modify construction practices based on
feedback received.

Our designs are tailored to fit the identified need, offering increased reliability, resiliency, and longevity for the power grid.

4.
Building

We use innovative solutions and construction techniques to keep projects on schedule and cost down.

Our approach to cost commitments provides price certainty and risk mitigation for grid operators and consumers.

5.
Operating

We work 24/7 to ensure safe, reliable, and secure operations of our facilities.

We leverage the latest advancements in technology throughout our systems.

Success Stories

Our solution for the Central East Energy Connect Project in New York was the unique design among our competition, providing a more cost-effective solution with significantly more capability to improve the most congested interface in the New York ISO region.

LS Power Grid New York

Energized in 2023

We established a first-of-its-kind project construction cost containment model to protect electricity consumers from paying for cost overruns. The project also used innovative technology to install submarine cables under the Delaware River, with environmental sensitivity at the forefront of planning and execution.

Silver Run Electric

Energized in 2020

Competitively selected among ten qualified bids, the Orchard Substation was built to enhance the reliability of California’s power grid and represents LS Power Grid California’s first energized transmission facility in the state. The Orchard Substation features state-of-the-art dynamic control technology that provides ~800 MVAR support to the power grid and represents the largest STATCOM installation in North America.

Engaging with stakeholders

We seek input from stakeholders that help shape the success of our projects.

We regularly seek input, including hosting public open houses and reaching out to local communities early in the process. This gives us a chance to talk about our project, answer questions, and – most importantly – listen to concerns. We want to hear from voices across the regions where our operations are located.
 
Armed with this information, we head to the drawing board to begin the process of regulatory approvals and permits, which can take months to years depending on how many agencies are involved and the complexity of the project.
