Court Decision Could Unlock Renewable's

Views: 368
District of Columbia United States Court of Appeals upheld the
. . . Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Order 1000, which requires,
. . . . . . regional coordinated planning and
. . . . . . renewable energy integration for
. . . . . . major new transmission line projects.

That means, states who aren’t part of regional grid operator systems,
. . . (like PJM Interconnection or ISO-New England)
. . . can no longer make decisions about adding new generation in a vacuum, and
. . . must consider the:
. . . . . . renewable portfolio standards or
. . . . . . emissions reduction goals of neighboring states,
. . . . . . opening the door for vast amounts of new clean energy.
