FERC's sole Republican advocate advocates for a 'balanced' and 'foreseeable' process for approvals

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is under pressure to balance speed and stability in its decision-making process, as emphasized by Republican commissioner Lindsay See.

See, a Biden appointee at FERC, highlighted the critical role of the commission in energy regulation and stressed its importance in providing regulatory certainty for energy projects. She underscored the need for the commission to implement policy in a fair, predictable, and legally durable manner.

At a recent monthly meeting, See discussed the need for a timely rule on co-locating data centers adjacent to power plants. She also emphasized the role of FERC in implementing permitting reform for liquefied natural gas export facilities.

The White House is pushing for accelerated timelines for energy infrastructure projects, and See expressed encouragement about the administration's focus on energy as a top priority and their efforts to move faster and keep innovative ideas on the table.

See emphasized the need for a balance between speed and stability in the commission's decision-making process. She stressed the importance of FERC in ensuring fair, predictable, and legally durable energy policy, and in providing regulatory certainty for energy projects.

The FERC's role in energy regulation is critical for ensuring regulatory certainty, fairness, predictability, and legal durability in energy policy implementation. The commission plays a crucial role in doing needed policy and in implementing energy policy in a fair, predictable, and legally durable manner.

See's comments come as the FERC considers various proposals for energy infrastructure projects, including permitting reform for liquefied natural gas export facilities. The commission's decisions on these proposals will have significant implications for the energy sector and the economy as a whole.

In conclusion, Lindsay See's call for a balance between speed and stability in the FERC's decision-making process is a timely reminder of the need for careful consideration and thoughtful decision-making in the energy sector. As the commission moves forward with various proposals for energy infrastructure projects, it is important that it maintains its focus on providing regulatory certainty, fairness, predictability, and legal durability in energy policy implementation.
