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.”

Check out ACORE’s comments filed with FERC here.

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.

Trump is not an idiot. His IQ may not be too high, but he’s smart enough to know how to conduct himself in his lifelong quest to amass more wealth and power at the expense of everyone else on Earth.

At left we see the moral bankruptcy that guides our civilization.

I recall many years ago, when Musk was becoming a “thing,” writing a post to the effect that, “What a terrible shame. We really didn’t need just one more super-rich asshole on this beleaguered planet.”

It’s easy to understand how Trump has great appeal to the hateful idiots and the amoral rich.

It’s much harder to see how it’s possible that a huge number of eligible voters are uninvolved in guiding the future of the United States, with many of them saying that “both sides are the same.”
