This week, the Senate Energy and Natural Resource Committee brought forward the Energy Permitting Reform Act for consideration – which seeks to accelerate the permitting process for energy projects in the United States, including transmission to deliver electricity across the country. Bringing this bipartisan bill forward is a major accomplishment and we’re grateful for the Committee’s leadership in this space.
At Invenergy, we’ve never believed that a single piece of legislation or public policy determines our ability to deliver cleaner, more reliable, affordable energy. However, certain provisions of the Energy Permitting Reform Act move the needle in the right direction as we face soaring demand for secure, lower cost, and lower carbon power. We look forward to continued discussion on iterations of this draft legislation to ensure there is a level playing field for renewable energy deployment and transmission so that the industry can deliver a cleaner more robust, resilient grid that works for the environment, people, and economies.
Invenergy has a more than 20-year track record of responsibly developing, building, owning and operating wind, solar, and natural gas generation projects and energy storage facilities. We’ve developed more than 200 projects and 32 gigawatts of generating capacity in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. We’re laser-focused every day on delivering a cleaner, more robust, and resilient grid that meets our customer’s changing energy needs with flexible technologies, engineering expertise, and the highest safety standards.
