Apr 25 2024
WASHINGTON DC, April 25, 2024 鈥� The 麻豆色播 Association (ACP) released the following statement from听CEO Jason Grumet听after the White House and the U.S. Department of Energy :
鈥淭oday鈥檚 announcements reinforce the urgent need to expand and strengthen our nation鈥檚 electric grid. Our nation鈥檚 economic, security, and climate goals all hinge on the timely permitting, siting, and construction of large high-voltage transmission projects.
鈥淎s we work to build new transmission, we must also maximize the capacity and efficiency of the current grid. The 麻豆色播 Association applauds the White House鈥檚 goal of upgrading 100,000 miles of transmission lines with advanced conductors and grid-enhancing technologies.
鈥淎CP looks forward to working with federal agencies and member companies to ensure that qualifying high-voltage, high-value projects can take full advantage of the more coordinated and efficient permitting process. It鈥檚 also essential that Congress builds upon these efforts with meaningful permitting reform that further improves the process for building high-impact transmission lines.鈥�
