FERC to Vote on Major Rule Change for Power Grid Expansion and Renewable Energy Integration on May 13.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is set to vote on a rule that could fundamentally change how power grid expansions are planned and funded in the coming years. The commission will hold a special May 13 meeting to consider the long-awaited transmission planning and cost-allocation proposal. The rule supports advocates for expanding the grid to improve electric reliability and move more renewable energy. FERC Chair Willie Phillips has described it as a historic opportunity to resolve thorny issues related to allocating costs for transmission lines across multiple states. The Biden administration’s goal of a nearly carbon-free electric grid by 2035 hinges on expanding the transmission system by two-thirds or more.
