Accelerating New Power Generation and Storage Connection to the Grid
This law requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to establish new rules aimed at streamlining and accelerating the process of connecting new power plants and energy storage facilities to the national transmission grid. The goal is to deploy new energy sources faster, potentially leading to a more stable and cost-effective electricity supply for consumers over time. These changes mandate utilities to adopt more efficient and transparent procedures for evaluating interconnection requests.
Key points
