🚨 FERC's New Rule on Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation 🚨 Recently, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a pivotal final rule to reform the regional transmission planning and cost allocation process governing America’s transmission system. This landmark decision marks a significant step forward in enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and resilience of the US national grid. Key Highlights of the Reform: 📈 Enhanced Planning: a forward-looking transmission planning process that better accommodates future demand and renewable energy integration 💰 Cost Allocation: a more transparent cost allocation mechanism that ensures the costs of new transmission projects are equitably distributed among beneficiaries 🤝 Stakeholder Engagement: increased involvement of utilities, state regulators and other stakeholders to foster collaboration in the planning process. This reform is a critical milestone in the modernization of America's energy infrastructure, driving down costs and paving the way for a cleaner more sustainable energy future ⚡ #Energy #FERC #TransmissionReform #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GridModernization #EnergyPolicy

🚨 The UK Government Unveils Plan to Accelerate Grid Connections for Clean Energy Transition by 2030 🚨 With 722GW of pending grid requests causing delays in clean energy projects, the plan shifts from a ‘first come, first served’ to a ‘first ready, first connected’ policy, prioritizing projects based on readiness. In partnership with the National Energy System Operator, the government will also implement criteria to prioritize connections by technology and location, supporting a balanced energy mix. Ofgem will consult on new licence conditions to align connections with energy goals. #CleanEnergy #GridConnection #NetZero #EnergyTransition #UKEnergy #Ofgem #RenewableEnergy #EnergyStorage #Sustainability #FutureofEnergy #EnergyIndustry #Energy

Transmission is an essential piece of our clean energy future. The announcement of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Regional Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation Rule (Order No. 1920) is an important step in building out America’s electric grid for a clean, affordable, and reliable energy future. The time to act is now. https://nyti.ms/3V2R1B6 #transmission

The UK’s Labour government is setting bold targets to position the nation as a global leader in green energy. New initiatives include lifting onshore wind restrictions, launching the publicly owned GB Energy Group, and tackling transmission bottlenecks through the "Great Grid Upgrade." 🚀 Can this momentum transform Britain into a green energy superpower?

Did You Know? The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is reinforcing Order No. 2023, increasing accountability and penalties for transmission owners who fail to respond to interconnection requests in a timely manner. “For the last decade, Utilities have slow-walked interconnection applications and failed to make progress on their own, causing a massive, two-terawatt backlog of solar and storage assets waiting for permission to connect to the grid. These new rules will establish clear expectations for all parties involved in the interconnection process and outline consequences for inaction.” – CleanTechnica This is a huge step in the right direction.

The federal government affordable gas strategy unlocking new gas fields across the nation should guarantee energy supply over the coming decade and beyond as we continue to develop sustainable and renewable energy infrastructure to meet our future needs. Industry and domestic consumers of gas need certainty that we wont be facing energy shortages in the transition phase to net zero by 2050 and that a smooth transition occurs during that time. The Resolve Political Monitor survey published in today's Age newspaper illustrates widespread support for the strategy. #theage

British Power Networks Extend Earlier Grid Connection Offers for 7.8GW Clean Energy Ventures In a groundbreaking revelation, National Grid has disclosed that grid connection timelines for over 200 clean energy initiatives have been advanced by an average of 6.5 years. This significant leap means that a staggering 7.8 gigawatts of capacity could be integrated into the grid a decade earlier than anticipated. Such a monumental shift promises to inject fresh momentum into Britain's ambitious quest to decarbonize its power infrastructure within the next decade. https://lnkd.in/eGCWH6rX #Energy #Infrastructure #Solar #Wind #NationalGrid #TechnicalLimits #NationalGridElectricityTransmission #EnergyNetworksAssociation #ScottishTransmission #Gridconnection
