Clean Energy Deployment

This task force will focus on studying and addressing impediments to the full deployment of cleaner, cheaper energy technology, especially in a time of increasing energy demand; protecting and building on the progress we have made thus far; and exploring potential grid modernization and clean energy reform policies. The goal will be to ensure cleaner, cheaper energy continues to be a key part of US energy independence.

LISTEN: The Democrats' new consensus bill would supercharge transmission

Hey, hey, everybody. This is Volts for February 14, 2024, Valentine's Day— happy Valentine's Day, everyone — "The Democrats' new consensus bill would supercharge transmission." I'm your host, David Roberts. When permitting reform came up toward the end of the last session of Congress, was a bit of a dumpster fire. Sen.

U.S.’s Biggest Renewable Project Is Under Way, Finally

By Scott Patterson

Wall Street Journal

A wind and power transmission project, called the largest of its kind in the country, has raised $11 billion in financing, kicking off a year when many utilities are expected to step up much needed spending on the power grid.

Pattern Energy Group has started construction on its SunZia project, a wind farm in central New Mexico, where more than 900 wind turbines will generate over 3,000 megawatts of clean energy. A 550-mile transmission line will bring the power to some three million people in Arizona and California.
