Chapter V: Improving Shared Transport Infrastructures 5-38 QER Report: Energy Transmission, Storage, and Distribution Infrastructure | April 2015
Chapter VI INTEGRATING NORTH AMERICAN ENERGY MARKETS This chapter takes a broader look at the current energy trade and the continuing integration of energy markets and infrastructure in the North American region. Its discussion includes cross-border infrastructure with Canada and Mexico, impacts of climate change on energy infrastructure in the Arctic, and the evolving energy needs of the Caribbean region. For each major geographic focus of this chapter, the status of Administration initiatives is discussed and recommendations for further action are presented.
