The TransAmerica Generation Grid (TAGG) will provide up to 18,000 MW of electrical generation from low-cost fuel sources, resulting in a stable and predictable source of electricity to offset price volatility in natural gas. Limitations in the power delivery infrastructure have constrained development of abundant energy resources in the northern and western plains states, blocking access to high-demand population centers.

The upper Midwest will serve as TAGG’s power generation hub, from which it will transmit 9,000 MW of power over HVDC transmission lines simultaneously between the eastern and western parts of the United States. At each terminal point, the power will be transformed to alternating current and stepped down to lower voltages for transmission on local grids to end users and consumers.
