August 26, 2025--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The growing need for critical infrastructure to meet rising energy demand and improve resilience across the U.S. has been stressing transmission and distribution (T&D) systems, even in areas not heavily populated. Industrial Info is tracking more than $4.3 billion worth of active and proposed T&D projects set to begin construction across the U.S. in the fourth quarter, about $1.9 billion of which is believed by Industrial Info's researchers to have a high likelihood (81% or more) of kicking off as scheduled.
