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.

How does trickle-down economics actually work in the real world? Just look around.

Is the U.S. standard of living better than that of, say, Sweden?

Ludwig von Mises was around at about the same time that that Ayn Rand was “a thing” in the middle of the 20th Century, but few people hold these beliefs today.

Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.

No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.

You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron. There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.

Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?
