Stakeholder Soapbox: The Facts About FERC Order 1920 and Why It’s Essential As the tides of “deregulation” swell, Gretchen Kershaw of Grid Strategies writes to set the record straight on FERC Order 1920.

Not sure if I wanted this or seeing so many on the House E&C dais made me want this or if I just stayed up half the night watching mark-ups… or all of the above.

Northeast States calling on FERC “to establish meaningful, binding, and proactive interregional planning,” without which they say “consumers will continue to pay more than they should and experience risks of resource inadequacy.” Preach on. 👏 #EnergySky

NEW REPORT! Some re-prioritization towards simpler quicker interconnection would save consumers a LOT of money! Similar dynamic in all regions but case study is data PJM.

Celebrating ratification of the 19th amendment and transmission planning reforms at the same time is a win-win in my book. Highly recommend checking out 1920merch.com for all your 1920 needs. 🔌💡

For my first post in this new land, seems appropriate to say happy FERC meeting day from one of the loveliest spots for a coffee! #energysky
