Management said transmission rate base is expected to grow at a 20%–25% CAGR from 2025 through 2032, with the segment’s overall growth expectations already above 20%. It sees potential to expand beyond those expectations through gas transmission opportunities, driven by bring-your-own-generation and needs across the gas value chain. The discussion characterized Energy Resources’ prospective utility scale as roughly $50 billion if targets are achieved.
