The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a statement following the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) recent actions to reform the interconnection process for large electricity loads.
According to the DOE, these reforms aim to improve grid reliability and help reduce electricity costs, reflecting a coordinated federal approach to energy infrastructure challenges.
DOE Secretary Chris Wright and Deputy Secretary James P. Danly praised the Commission’s measures as positive steps for the national energy system.
