About this listen
In this episode of Sounds of Solar, we sit down with Ryan Grady, Director of Transmission at EVS, to unpack why the U.S. transmission grid is under unprecedented pressure. As aging infrastructure collides with explosive load growth from data centers, electrification, and renewable energy, transmission has become one of the most critical bottlenecks in the energy transition. Ryan explains how decades old lines are being pushed beyond their original design intent, why reliability and resilience are now central to planning decisions, and what utilities and engineers are doing to adapt. From data center driven demand to emerging design strategies, this conversation explores how transmission is being reshaped to support the grid we will rely on for decades to come.
