DOE’s Quadrennial Energy Review Calls For Modernization of Energy Infrastructure

摘要

The U.S. energy landscape is changing, leaning more heavily on natural gas and renewables and moving from a net energy importer to an exporter, all of which require a transformation of energy infrastructure, according to a report issued by the Obama administration Tuesday. “Significant change” to electricity transmission, storage, and distribution (TS&D) infrastructure is needed to accommodate the changing energy landscape and to address the potential for terrorism and cyber-attacks, according to the 348-page Quadrennial Energy Review (QER).
