Statement from Ray Long, American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) CEO on the new framework introduced for permitting reform by the House Problem Solvers Caucus:

“We’re heartened to see the new framework for permitting reform from the House Problem Solvers Caucus and eager to expand conversations around transmission. The reality is, the U.S. needs to add the equivalent of 133 Oklahoma Cities’ worth of electricity to the system by 2030 if we’re going to achieve energy dominance and remain competitive globally. Cutting red tape to expedite the buildout of critical transmission lines, while also promoting grid-enhancing technologies and other common-sense reforms, will ensure we have a modern grid that keeps the lights on and withstands future challenges, like extreme weather events and rapid increases in electricity demand. We look forward to continued conversations about permitting reforms that will get more electrons generated and transmitted to the American communities, businesses, and families that need them.”
