ACORE Urges FERC to Prioritize Transmission Solutions to Address Resource Adequacy Challenges

June 4, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) issued the following statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long ahead of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC’s) Commissioner-led Technical Conference Regarding the Challenge of Resource Adequacy in RTO and ISO Regions:

“ACORE is encouraged by FERC’s efforts in convening this week’s technical conference on resource adequacy, an incredibly important topic given worsening weather events and explosive demand growth. We need a grid that’s resilient to the weather. And we need a grid that can enable the U.S. to win the AI race against China.

We urge the Commission and participating panelists to take a holistic view of meeting reliability needs, which requires fully valuing each generation type and acknowledging the important role of transmission and cost-effective technologies that maximize the existing system. Grid-enhancing technologies and high-performance conductors offer near-term capacity expansion options to help ensure resource adequacy, while new regional and interregional powerlines are planned and built to ensure reliable, affordable power for decades to come.”

FERC will host the two-day technical conference June 4-5 at FERC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event is open to the public to attend in person or virtually.

This Won’t End Well for the Minnesota Shooter

The Trump administration is working hard to protect the ICE shooter in Minnesota, insofar as the entire legitimacy of “border patrol” personnel roaming the streets of cities 1000 miles from the border is at stake.

But they’re going down hard here, based on the video evidence that is available to everyone on Earth.

The murderer of George Floyd is serving 21 years in prison; let’s expect roughly the same here.

And let’s hope that the sentiment of American voters re: ICE accordingly takes a shift.

Unfortunately, this whole legal process is going to take years to come to a conclusion, during which time human rights and rule of law in the United States may have all but vanished.
