"It became obvious that this has a big impact on our electric power grid, because the power transmission lines are grounded to the earth," Schultz explained. "And one thing that we're measuring is ...

The two grid operators providing power to the Midwestern U.S. are proposing to build $1.7 billion worth of new transmission lines to bridge the “seam” between their networks. The move could ...

Rare, severe geomagnetic storm hits Earth: Will it impact the grid? by: Addy Bink, Alix Martichoux Posted: Aug 12, 2024 / 06:12 PM CDT Updated: Aug 12, 2024 / 06:12 PM CDT ...

Planet Earth is getting rocked by the biggest solar storm in decades – and the potential effects have those people in charge of power grids, communications systems and satellites on edge.

Geomagnetic storm conditions observed over the weekend strengthened Monday morning, creating a "major disturbance in Earth's magnetic field," the Space Weather Prediction Center said.
