The decision makers that don’t understand electricity are making political promises without any backup to the plan of technical practicality - often without any consideration of the physical requirements or technical engineering design.
I sat in on a meeting yesterday with west coast utilities and suppliers of high voltage grid equipment. 230kV and higher circuit breakers still have a 4 to 5 year wait. Every new renewable generator requires both to connect to the grid. If the New Jersey crowd is going to be Net Zero by 2030 they’ll have to figure out a whole new way to connect renewables to the grid that doesn’t involve transformers or circuit breakers. Surprised the CEO of PSE&G isn’t aware of this.

What could go wrong?
