Discussed the need for permitting reform to help expedite the siting and permitting of energy projects to meet emissions reduction goals. Discussed support for permitting reform to help expedite the construction of energy infrastructure (no bill), including changes to the National Environmental Policy Act to streamline processes but not include transmission-related language that would expand FERCs jurisdiction over cost allocation and potentially saddle public power utilities with additional transmission costs. Discussed the importance of joint ownership opportunities for public power utilities as new transmission projects are being built. Discussed how it could help reduce transmission costs for customers and build community support for transmission projects. Discussed amendment 8 to H.R. 7023, the Creating Confidence in Clean Water Permitting Act, which would make it more difficult and costly to permit certain electric transmission projects.
