A bipartisan permitting reform bill was released on Monday. The proposed legislation supports FERC's authority to approve transmission lines and paves the way to require interregional transmission planning. If passed, the law would also require planners to consider advanced conductors and reconductoring in order to maximize current transmission capabilities. Read more about the new bill and the industry response in the article below. ⬇️ #FERC #Transmission #USEnergy #KinectSolar

“There is danger of a backlash to the energy transition if it drives up costs for consumers.”-Sense CEO Mike Phillips To really nail load forecasting and keep costs in check, there needs to be better grid visibility. When utilities can see what’s happening right at the edge, they can predict demand more accurately and better manage energy distribution. This means lower costs and a more reliable energy supply. 💡 Small shifts like this can make a huge difference in how we power the future. What do you think about expanding grid visibility? #GridEdge #GridReliability #CostControl #LoadForecast

Great article from Sara Baldwin. Power Demand Reduction (DR) on the consumer side is a critical component to balancing our growing grid power needs. But we must go beyond traditional DR that curtails power and give the customers a means to reduce their own peak power behind-the-meter. Affordable, high-power energy storage is the key.

Canceled projects, supply chain and permitting are just a few hurdles adding to the complexity for NV Energy moving towards a more verdant reliable grid. With a 50% RPS goal by 2030, clear communication and collaboration is key. #Greenlink, #Energytransition #collaboration #BLM

To receive federal GRIP grants from the DOE, utilities must follow strict rules and create new processes. Utilities need to make sure they have proper policies in place to meet these requirements. Adapting internal systems, training staff, and using new tools are crucial to stay compliant and successful. By using solutions like Adlib’s document automation, utilities can streamline reporting, track progress accurately, and manage compliance documentation efficiently, ensuring successful project execution. https://lnkd.in/gdd2PpBh #DOE #GRIP #grants #compliance #utilities #documentautomation
