Renewable power transmission overlay

An electrical power transmission system of regional geographic extent, comprising:

• means for coupling together a plurality of means for generating electric power via wind located in at least one geographic area having rich wind asset resources;
• means for coupling together a plurality of means for generating electric power via solar radiation located in at least one geographic area having rich solar radiation asset resources;
• means for coupling together a plurality of means for generating electric power via biomass located in at least one geographic area having rich biomass asset asset resources;
• a plurality of region-wide transmission facilities with each region-wide transmission facility of said plurality of region-wide transmission facilities having at least one collection facility for collecting electric power from at least one of said means for generating electric power via wind, said means for generating electric power via solar radiation and said means for generating electric power via biomass;
• inter-regional transmission facilities having means for selectively interconnecting the means coupling the electric power generated by at least two of said means for generating electric power via wind, said means for generating electric power via solar radiation and said means for generating electric power via biomass at said at least one collection facility;
• and,
• at least one substation electrical facility coupled to each said collection facility of each said region-wide transmission facility for providing means for downloading the electrical power from said inter-regional transmission facilities to a local electrical transmission grid.
