Expert perspectives on the critical clean energy issues of today and tomorrow.

Miami-Invenergy_101217_0088.jpg

Invenergy President and co-founder Jim Murphy joined the 

 with Utility Dive reporter Herman Trabish. The two discussed Invenergy’s approach to unleashing every drop of American-made energy to meet demand and why transmission and manufacturing are key to U.S. energy independence.

You can read condensed excerpts from the conversation below.

On the unprecedented energy demand surge, Murphy said

: It’s a demand story we haven’t seen in my career. That means we need all sources of generation – and the grid to deliver it. We also need to shore up our supply chain for speed and security. We’re already in manufacturing, but we’d like to expand that, especially in solar. And as I said, the missing link in the whole equation is transmission. We need interregional grid build-out – big time.

On Invenergy’s long-time natural gas portfolio, Murphy said

: We’ve been in the gas-fired power business for 30+ years, even before Invenergy. In Invenergy alone, we’ve done 13 natural gas projects, totaling about 6 gigawatts – roughly 20% of our total capacity ... Gas is something we know how to do. We've been a leader there for many years.

On increasing natural gas demand from customers, Murphy said

: We're seeing a significant increase in demand for all of the technologies that we're developing, and we've had a lot of customer conversations about gas-fired capacity being seen as something that will help deliver a higher system-wide capacity factor.

Murphy noted the timeline for developing natural gas-fired facilities — which is more extended than the timeline for what's in the queues right now, which is primarily renewables.

Murphy also discussed Invenergy’s Grain Belt Express — which will be the single largest transmission line in U.S. history. When asked about the benefits the line will bring Americans, he said

: Every state will have the benefit of jobs and the manufacturing that we're going to be doing to support those jobs. When the line is generating and transmitting energy, it will produce about $52 billion in energy cost savings for U.S. consumers — including those served by 39 Missouri municipal utilities we’ve contracted with.

On the energy security benefits of Grain Belt Express, Murphy continued

: Twenty-five percent of the Department of Defense installations in the country are within the footprint of this line. So, making sure that those essential government functions can receive power on an uninterrupted basis.

On the importance of a stable policy environment, Murphy said

: Everything we do is essentially an infrastructure project with a very long development, construction, and operating period over decades. So, having stability of policy across those continuums is essential for what we do.

Murphy talks energy demand, grid reliability and Grain Belt Express

The mission is clear: we need every drop of American-made power and the infrastructure to deliver it if we want to unleash U.S. energy dominance.

Invenergy is uniquely suited to address this challenge as America’s largest independent power producer. With more than 20 years of experience, 212 projects and 33 gigawatts over a broad-ranging portfolio including natural gas, solar, storage and transmission – we believe in adding energy solutions to meet the moment and help America avoid an electricity emergency with catastrophic national and economic security consequences.

A good example of Invenergy’s energy approach is Sullivan County in southwest Indiana. It hosts four Invenergy-developed projects:

The generation projects bring Sullivan County more than 1,380 megawatts of American-made power, which is enough capacity for more than 800,000 homes and businesses. With Grain Belt Express, it also enables Americans to access affordable, reliable energy during times of peak demand or weather-related incidents that stress the grid.  It's simple economics – the more energy you have to meet demand, the lower costs are for Americans.

Beyond access to affordable, reliable energy, these projects strengthen the local economy through tax revenues and landowner lease payments and create good-paying jobs. The energy-generation projects in the county will generate more than $400 million in local economic benefits, including more than 700 construction jobs and 30 permanent, good-paying jobs, and the four-state Grain Belt Express will deliver $52 billion in energy cost savings to Americans over 15 years. In addition to building these critical infrastructure and energy generation projects, Invenergy also values its long-term commitment to Sullivan County and supports various local organizations such as youth sports facilities.

Demand isn’t going away. Sullivan County is the perfect example of what’s possible for the American energy future when we unleash every drop of energy to meet growing demand and power American energy independence.

An Indiana county and the promise of America’s energy future

Invenergy's Founder and CEO Michael Polsky today spoke with Fox Business News’ Maria Bartiromo about the largest transmission line in the U.S. – Grain Belt Express – and its 

 to major U.S. companies Quanta Services and Kiewit. The announcement marks meaningful advancement towards Grain Belt Express' construction in 2026. Grain Belt Express is an $11 billion investment to strengthen U.S. electricity infrastructure that will unleash all forms of American energy and deliver cost savings for American consumers.

You can read excerpts from Polsky’s conversation with Bartiromo below or 

This is the largest electricity infrastructure project right now in the United States. We will be unleashing American energy. We will be lowering the costs. We will be creating energy independence.

Grain Belt Express is really what is needed in the United States. Without electricity, we cannot do AI or increase domestic production. Electricity is the key now for the economy.

When asked about the $11 billion investment in energizing America, Polsky said

It's a huge investment that will create 22,000 jobs along the way between transmission and generation.

On the need for interregional transmission to prevent an electricity emergency, Polsky said

What the President said in his Executive Order is this is an energy emergency, an electricity emergency. And we need electricity now, and we need domestic sources to reduce costs. So, Grain Belt Express exactly fulfills President Trump’s ambition of energy independence.

Interregional transmission is the highway system for the electrons for electricity to move from where it's produced to where it's needed to power AI for data centers and industries. It’s much-needed electricity in this country to really unleash American energy, domestic energy to be able to power our businesses, particularly with the with manufacturing and AI emphasis here now in the United States.

Grain Belt Express — America’s largest interregional transmission line that’s private-sector led and market-driven— will deliver:

The project is the critical infrastructure needed to achieve America’s energy future. Read more about the project here: 

Last week, Invenergy sponsored the Oklahoma State University Hamm Institute for American Energy’s Powering AI global leadership summit. On a panel about infrastructure and AI, Invenergy’s Chief Commercial Officer Jim Shield joined colleagues from NVIDIA and Google to discuss the criticality of interregional transmission in unleashing American-made energy and winning the AI race. 

On the customer demand today, Shield said:

 “There’s a lot of real demand that's growing. Back then [in the 1990s], it was more replacement of older generation with more efficient generation. Now it's like we need new capacity and energy sources. And that's kind of the shift that I've seen in the last 18 to 20 months.” 

 “We’ve actually seen real capacity or demand being added to the systems…and [customer] demand is going to be there for a long time.” 

On much-needed grid updates to strengthen resiliency and safely power the AI race, Shield said:

 “[The grid] needs some upgrades… people have been investing in it and it wasn't ever designed for this situation…[and we need to] make it a little bit more resilient.” 

On serving data center energy needs while strengthening U.S. national security through grid reliability and supply availability, Shield said:

 “Maybe we get some behind-the-meter generation going to start off…[but] everyone wants to be connected to the grid. That's where you can get the reliability and the supply from.” 

“If you really want to optimize the system, [you need to] able to move power back and forth to where it's needed at the time it's needed.” 

On letting the private sector meet data center demand, Shield said: “

A stable policy environment…[which] allow us to unleash all the forms energy right now… [T]he development of the project…takes five to seven years just before you can start construction…[L]et the government get out of the way…[and] let the private industry take care of the issue.”

Powering the AI race: Every drop of American-made energy and transmission infrastructure to deliver it

 (CoE) earlier this year, bringing four crucial business functions under one roof. One of those key functions is an industry-leading training facility that offers hands-on learning across clean energy technologies. This facility is helping to power careers in a growing industry and builds on Invenergy’s commitment to best-in-class training for the past 20 years.

The CoE’s training facility will help trainees with varying degrees of experience learn how to troubleshoot issues in practical but controlled environments. Doing so optimizes project performance and drives value for the energy centers across Invenergy Services' fleet.

“Our hands-on approach gives technicians and site managers real-world experience with equipment they’ll see in the field, ensuring they’re ready to maintain our safety and performance standards from day one,” says Amy Hassen, director of Invenergy’s renewable training program. “The CoE training is designed to meet employees where they are whether you’re a car mechanic, electrician, recent graduate or already working in energy,” Hassen continued.

Invenergy Services has the capability to train more than 1,000 employees annually at the CoE — bringing employees from across Invenergy Services’ fleet in one spot to help them grow together. “Formalizing and centralizing our training at the Center of Excellence has made it more consistent and repeatable,” Hassen says.

Invenergy’s Center of Excellence is a game-changer for clean energy 

To build the CoE’s classroom and hands-on learning labs, Hassen’s team compiled existing inventory from the field with newly purchased parts, equipment and components. Some of the learning labs are hand-built — and are permanently set up for trainees to learn on-the-job skills using real-world components from across clean energy technologies.

Safety is the number one principle of Invenergy training 

In all CoE training, safety is a core principle of the curriculum. As a foundation, all Invenergy Services employees learn proper safety precautions throughout each course. The training team layers on top of that with safety-specific classes for every cohort. These principles are infused throughout the curriculum to ensure Invenergy employees learn the company’s safety culture as early — and as often — as possible.

Invenergy’s history of industry-leading training programs

 it builds on the company’s 20-year record of prioritizing high-quality classroom and in-person training for technicians with safety at the forefront. The training center streamlines Invenergy’s existing training programs and brings everything under one roof.

The evolution of the training program is proof of the company’s commitment to innovation — which is driven through its culture of continuous learning. The company is constantly optimizing the way it develops, owns and operates energy centers and preparing the next-generation workforce in a growing industry.

With electricity demand growing at unprecedented rates, there’s unprecedented growth opportunities for Invenergy Services employees. Learn more about a 

 outlines a dramatic 50% surge of new U.S. electricity demand through 2040. Meeting this demand—and avoiding a national energy emergency—is key to achieving U.S. strategic aims.

To do that, we need every available electron, delivered reliably and at costs consumers can afford. This can only be achieved through significant grid investment.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright agrees: “Fortifying America’s electric grid is critical to the reliable and secure delivery of electricity.” Wright further 

: “This is an imperative as we consider current and anticipated load growth on our nation’s electric utilities.”

The best way to modernize the grid is through interregional transmission lines – energy superhighways that can carry all forms of American-made energy. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) agrees with us here, too. NERC has called for an 

. These lines make power more affordable, reliable, and secure.  As the largest privately held independent power producer, Invenergy is leading the charge and building the largest single transmission project in United States history. Investments like this are critical to achieving U.S. energy dominance.

More abundant, affordable, reliable, and secure energy

After years of energy price inflation, it’s critical to keep the abundance of American energy affordable. We need enough energy supply to meet America’s growing demand while maintaining affordability, and we need enough transmission to move that power to where it’s needed. But we don’t need to overbuild. Despite U.S. energy abundance, we can’t move power to where it’s needed today—which results in higher electric bills for Americans. Grid investment expands overall system capacity to meet that demand in the most efficient and affordable way possible.

Expanding transmission between grid regions can save billions of dollars by avoiding utility bill hikes amid widespread power outages or energy supply crunches.

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is ideally suited technology for connecting U.S. grid regions. It cost-effectively moves large quantities of power over long distances. It precisely controls power flows, and it pulls electricity from healthy grids to jumpstart failed grids with “blackstart” capability.

 is the largest transmission project in U.S. history. At 5 gigawatts of capacity, no project will have ever carried more power, and no project has ever connected four different U.S. grid regions. With an 800-mile HVDC span from Kansas to Indiana, Grain Belt Express will deliver $52 billion in energy cost savings while enhancing reliability for regions that serve 29 U.S. states and D.C.

Merchant transmission projects like Grain Belt Express are market based, bringing together willing buyers and sellers of electricity—including utilities, industrial energy users, power traders, grid operators, and power plant owners. Only direct users pay the costs, but the lines still deliver energy cost savings and reliability to all ratepayers across the broader energy system.

In contrast, most new transmission investments are centrally planned, and ratepayers in those regions foot the bill by default. For interregional transmission, multiple grid operators must agree on how to split costs for lines that connect regions, which has proven to be nearly impossible and has kept the U.S. from building needed interregional grid infrastructure. It’s delaying our nation from building much needed infrastructure to address the energy emergency. Here, independent merchant projects have a vital role to play.

Interregional merchant transmission projects like Grain Belt Express create new market connections through open access and are energy agnostic. Diverse power mixes flow between markets. In fact, there are over 8,000 megawatts of existing dispatchable generation facilities within 50 miles of Grain Belt Express points of interconnection. With customer demand shifting towards natural gas power, generation from these facilities can be delivered by the line and can even be expanded without further straining the existing grid.

Delivering power to win the AI race and revive manufacturing

, “Winning the AI arms race doesn't just take software developers. It takes more electricity.” We fully agree. To power these strategic industries, win the global AI race, and ensure America’s national security, a reliable, resilient and secure grid is more critical than ever.

Expanding U.S. transmission infrastructure will reduce our reliance on foreign energy sources and 

, attack, or natural disaster. Notably, Grain Belt Express can deliver enough power to serve 50 data centers while strengthening reliability for regions serving over 25% of U.S. Department of Defense installations. It’s also directly boosting domestic manufacturing, securing major supply deals with factories in Pennsylvania, Missouri, South Carolina, and Alabama.

We need all available American-made energy to meet this moment and establish American energy dominance. For over two decades, Invenergy has been leading the industry with a broad portfolio of energy generation technologies. Today, Invenergy also has 11 gigawatts of new transmission capacity in development—representing roughly one-third of new U.S. HVDC transmission. We look forward to continuing our work with all state and federal partners to 

For over 20 years, Invenergy has led the industry in delivering cleaner, more affordable, and reliable, energy solutions. Today, Invenergy continues building on our track record of innovation to address a formidable challenge – the imminent national electricity deficit. To meet historic U.S. electricity demand and strengthen American energy independence, we need all American energy sources, including natural gas.

Natural gas is a useful asset in the multi-technology generation mix - providing additional, dispatchable energy to meet the electricity needs of consumers. At Invenergy, our comprehensive development strategy includes a growing pipeline of gas development across the United States. Just this month, Invenergy announced its 15th natural gas project, 

 in Wisconsin, and the company just received an air permit for its Sycamore Riverside Energy Center in Sullivan County, Indiana.

 began 22 years ago, when the company acquired Hardee Power Station, a 370 megawatt natural gas facility in Florida. Today, this facility continues to generate and deliver reliable power to Americans. Since then, Invenergy has developed more than 200 projects across five technologies. Thirteen of these projects are operational natural gas facilities, totaling 6 gigawatts of power, almost 20% of Invenergy’s developed generation capacity.

Invenergy’s current portfolio includes two types of gas facilities:

However, meeting our nation’s increasing electricity demand will require more than generation alone.  The critical missing link is our outdated electricity grid. We urgently need to build out interregional transmission infrastructure to move all forms of energy - including natural gas, solar, wind, and geothermal - from where it is generated to where it's needed. We also need to build out interregional transmission to keep energy affordable and the grid reliable.

Transmission infrastructure is the energy superhighway transporting electricity generated from any power source, keeping Americans’ lights on and electricity bills low. As customer demands evolve, Invenergy is actively evaluating sites for gas projects that could connect to 

 – adding yet another generation source to this critical interregional transmission line to help meet growing demand with American-made energy.

Sullivan County, Indiana, exemplifies America’s potential and Invenergy’s vision for an all-of-the-above future. This county will host Invenergy’s Sycamore Riverside natural gas facility; will be home to the East terminus of Invenergy’s Grain Belt Express (the largest transmission infrastructure project in U.S. history); and boasts two Invenergy-developed solar facilities. This is how we unleash American energy dominance, meet our growing power demands, and reinforce reliability. These Invenergy projects in Sullivan County alone will generate 1,380 megawatts of power and over $400 million in local economic benefits, prioritizing local hiring with more than 700 construction jobs and 30 permanent good-paying jobs.

We agree that Americans are facing an electricity emergency. We need to activate every American energy source and modernize the grid, which includes interregional transmission buildout to transport the energy across the country. This is the only way to ensure that consumers and businesses can access reliable and affordable energy when they need it most.

 in mainstream media about pollinator-friendly vegetation solutions at solar energy facilities. This is an important topic: solar energy development presents a unique opportunity to restore soil health, improve species and ecosystem biodiversity – providing long-term environmental benefits. However, while it is encouraging to see a focus on any aspect of solar ecosystem services – the narrative neglects to reference the most critical, and often overlooked, step. When it comes to large-scale solar projects, those spanning hundreds of acres or more, the focus must first be on establishing a foundation of resilient, desirable vegetation that will support, and not outcompete, the proliferation of pollinator-friendly and other beneficial species.

Much of the discussion around pollinator habitat focuses on smaller solar projects, like community solar gardens or distributed projects. These projects, often covering less than one hundred acres, have shorter construction timelines and less soil disturbance, making it easier and less costly to integrate and maintain pollinator-friendly plantings. Smaller projects can also be designed to accommodate project equipment modifications to support more traditional pollinator habitat.

Reducing our dependence on fossil fuels requires rapid deployment of large-scale solar projects – which must remain cost competitive for a limited number of public utility contracts. These projects require a different and more comprehensive vegetation management strategy. Since native pollinator species often take several growing seasons to establish, large-scale projects must initially focus on quickly creating the foundation of successful solar revegetation.

As Dr. Hernandez says in the New York Times article, this industry is still within its infancy and working to do better. That “better” starts with what we are doing here at Invenergy. We follow a science-based approach to revegetation at our large-scale solar facilities. Our industry-leading vegetation management team, composed of experts from across the country, develops seed mixes tailored to site-specific soils and regional climates, selects species that can withstand construction and operational stress, and ensures long-term viability through careful planning and adaptive management. Successful revegetation is not as simple as scattering a seed mix on the ground and hoping for the best. It requires comprehensive planning: preparing the soil, planting at the right time and depth, managing weed competition, and maintaining vegetation to support healthy establishment. And all this has to be achieved at an active construction site. Even with the best-laid plans, adaptive management is crucial, and a foundational vegetation management approach needs to be nimble and able to adjust as conditions change.

Establishing the right vegetation early creates a ripple effect, benefiting all groups invested in the project. 

The bottom line: Pollinators and ecosystem services are invaluable, but with the rapid expansion of utility-scale solar needed, and oversight of the most critical foundational step, we risk losing the opportunity to integrate them effectively. The focus right now must be on strategic planning and proper establishment of vegetation – because if we don’t lay the groundwork today, we may never retain the chance to maximize these critical benefits for years to come.
