New CATF/Brattle report identifies untapped solutions to address rising electricity demand and avert grid bottlenecks

A new report from The Brattle Group, commissioned by Clean Air Task Force (CATF), identifies actionable, near-term strategies to help policymakers, utilities, and system planners respond to a sharp rise in electricity demand driven by data center expansion, electrification, and manufacturing growth. With many new generation resources—such as renewables, storage, and natural gas—constrained by supply chains and planning processes, the report outlines the remaining practical near-term solutions to ensuring grid reliability in the next three-to-five years while maintaining public policy objectives.  The report, Optimizing Grid Infrastructure and Proactive Planning to…
