Investing in smart grid technology will improve energy efficiency and prevent outages. Expanding battery storage capacity will allow us to store renewable energy and provide backup power during disruptions. Strengthening grid cybersecurity is essential to protecting against cyber threats and foreign interference. Building a nationwide transmission network will ensure that clean energy from rural wind and solar farms can be delivered efficiently to urban centers.

Carson supports multiple grid modernization measures, including smart grids, storage, cybersecurity, and transmission buildout.
