Recent research has found that grid upgrades, essential for climate disaster resilience, are contributing to increases in electricity prices. Utilities in many places are replacing aging equipment and making the grid more resistant to climate-related disasters, which has led to higher electricity costs for consumers. This highlights the trade-off between ensuring reliable, climate-resilient infrastructure and maintaining affordable energy access for all. The focus on grid improvements underscores the critical need for sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions, especially in the face of increasingly frequent and severe climate events.
