a conductor or conductors designed to carry electricity or an electrical signal over large distances with minimum losses and distortion

Pros

Connects energy markets and increases the value of generation

Cons

A single disruption can have a big service impact; it can be problematic to agree on who should pay for system improvements or additional capacity.

Real Talk

The “who and how” of paying for these lines needs to be talked out better. Fair access to a broad group is needed.
