Grid operator California Independent System Operator (CAISO) has set out a grid upgrade plan that would support the rollout of 40GW of renewables in the US state.

CAISO has developed its transmission plan with California Public Utilities Commission and the California Energy Commission. The plan identifies 45 projects to expand and upgrade the transmission system in California, including projects to support 3.5GW of new wind farms in California and import 4.5GW of wind power from other US states.
