$63 billion for new transmission lines

California Public Utility Commission estimates that the state will need $63 billion in new transmission lines over the next 20 years. This includes $37 billion for offshore wind. To get there, the transmission line permit  process is being streamlined, including allowing transmission companies to submit  draft California Environmental Quality Act documents instead of a more formal environmental assessment.
