Description

Consumers across the country are footing the bill for billions of
dollars in transmission upgrades. And yet, many state regulators have
little insight into how that money is actually being spent, particularly
regarding local and small transmission projects. That’s leading FERC and
utilities to clash about how much oversight there should be. POLITICO’S
Catherine Morehouse breaks down why regulators are starting to pay more
attention to how small power lines are built and the implications for
U.S. consumers. Plus, Canada has teased two new clean technology tax
credits in response to the Inflation Reduction Act.
