A bill to boost power transmission between U.S. regions is being considered as part of talks between White House and congressional Republicans to raise the debt ceiling, two sources with knowledge of the talks said.
from Senator John Hickenlooper and Representative Scott Peters, both Democrats, requires U.S. regions to have the capacity to transfer at least 30% of their peak electricity demand between each other.
NEPA governs environmental reviews of projects such as roads and pipelines, but has been decried by Republicans for adding years to the timeline for approving works. The potential deal was first reported by the Washington Post. The bill allows U.S. regions to meet the 30% transmission requirement through several routes: building new transmission lines, upgrading existing ones, investing in energy efficiency to reduce peak demand, or building new power generation to free up abilities to move power.
Transmission line projects can take years to permit because they need a host of federal and state approvals.
