Can these policies change transmission’s trajectory?
As the backbone of the electrical grid, transmission infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliable and affordable energy delivery. However, new transmission development has plateaued in recent years, creating bottlenecks for both new clean energy resources attempting to connect to the grid and surging load growth.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Orders 1920 and 1977 to help clear the path for regional transmission development, while Congress is considering a long-awaited federal permitting reform plan. Can these policies change transmission's trajectory? This webinar will feature perspectives from transmission utilities, developers, and regional grid planners.
- FERC Orders 1920 and 1977: Understand how FERC's landmark rules are impacting the outlook for transmission development in the U.S., and what comes next
- Energy Permitting Reform Act: See how Congress aims to fill the gaps within FERC's orders and the challenges that remain for federal permitting reform
- Work to be done: Forthcoming policies will need to address interregional transmission planning, cost allocation, grid-enhancing technologies, and more
