Meeting carbon reduction goals will require a “staggering” buildout of energy infrastructure, including electric transmission, according to a report released in August by the Niskanen Center and the Clean Air Task Force.
FERC, which sets requirements for transmission planning, cost allocation and grid interconnections, has a key role in facilitating transmission development, according to Glick.
In a step toward possible changes to those rules, the agency is sorting through comments it received in response to an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking on transmission reform issued in July.
