More Clean Energy and a More Stable Power Grid
This act aims to increase the reliability of electricity supply and facilitate the connection of renewable energy sources to the grid. This means citizens can expect fewer power outages and potentially lower energy bills in the future. The changes also aim to accelerate the development of clean energy technologies nationwide.
Key points
Fewer Power Outages: The act aims to strengthen the power grid, leading to greater stability and fewer failures.
Easier Access to Clean Energy: It facilitates connecting solar and wind farms to the grid, which could lower energy costs.
Faster Transmission Line Construction: It shortens the waiting time for permits to build new power lines, especially where transmission issues exist.
Environmental and Heritage Protection: New lines are to be built in locations that minimize impact on the environment and important cultural sites.
