The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved sweeping changes to the U.S. electric transmission system. The new rules, finalized on Monday, are designed to speed up the process of planning, permitting, and building the grid of the future, which is crucial for the energy transition and meeting growing demand. These changes are expected to lower costs, improve reliability, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. The reforms, known as Order 1920, include proactive regional planning, fair cost allocation, and the adoption of advanced grid technologies. Key political figures, including Senator Schumer and Democratic leaders Frank Pallone and Diana DeGette, have praised the move, highlighting its potential to create a more resilient, affordable, and clean energy future for Americans. Additionally, the new rules aim to reduce congestion and prevent blackouts.
Good news: "new [FERC] rules will allow the U.S. to connect gigawatts of new clean energy projects to the grid, reduce power costs, and improve grid reliability across the country." It's all about long-term planning and saving $$. https://t.co/0iMvQorGRD
