Create will advance electrification by reconductoring lines to increase capacity, upgrading system components to support volatile loads, and enabling bidirectional flow of electricity. These upgrades will support expanding electrification in transportation, buildings, DER adoption, and renewables through strengthened circuit ties, distribution automation, and resiliency investments. By investing in circuit ties and reclosers across the grid, the system will be able to automatically reroute power around faults, using adjacent circuits, to minimize customers impacted by disruptive events.
