Expediting Generator Interconnection Procedures Act of 2025

HR 2986, the Expediting Generator Interconnection Procedures Act of 2025, requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to create new rules within 18 months to speed up the process for new energy projects (like solar, wind, and battery storage) to connect to the electric grid. The bill mandates transmission providers (utilities) to use realistic technical modeling for each project type, offer cost-effective solutions for grid upgrades, and share clear information with project developers. It also requires transmission providers to adopt better queue management practices and improve transparency to reduce delays and costs. This directly affects new energy developers and transmission providers by making grid connection faster and more predictable.
