"Revolutionizing the US Grid: A Game-Changing Leap in Efficiency"

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has passed a new rule aimed at streamlining the grid interconnection process in the country. Currently, there is a backlog of over 2,000 gigawatts of new power generation and storage waiting to be connected to the grid. Projects have faced long wait times of up to five years, but the new rule is expected to shorten this wait and provide greater timing and cost certainty to interconnection customers. The rule includes measures such as first-ready-first-served cluster studies, firm deadlines, penalties for delays, and updates to modeling and performance requirements. The move is seen as a significant step towards improving the efficiency and reliability of the US transmission grid.
