Solar energy panels, wind power and electricity pylons

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has made a transformative decision with Order 1920, FERC’s first major overhaul in transmission planning policies in over a decade. The order is designed to facilitate the development of reliable, efficient, and cost-effective energy infrastructure. The move is timely, addressing the surge in power demand across the nation due to the re-domestication of manufacturing, the building of data centers vital for a modern economy, and advancements in artificial intelligence technology. Power demand is expected to increase by 5% in the next five years, highlighting the urgency and significance of this rule for future energy resilience and sustainability.
