How strong is the regulatory/policy tailwind for accelerating large-load grid interconnection and firm-generation permitting through 2027 (federal + leading-state actions combined)?
Category: politics
Status: open | Type: likert | Timeframe: mid
Context
Modulates Assumption 2 from the policy side - FERC large-load rulemakings, DOE transmission corridors, and state permitting reform (e.g. Texas SB, PJM large-load proposals) could relieve the queue constraint faster than the historical baseline. The strength of this tailwind is the main upside risk that could compress the bottleneck window and shorten the thesis horizon.
Resolution source: FERC rulemaking docket filings (large-load / co-location) + DOE National Transmission Planning releases + state PUC orders (ERCOT/PJM large-load tariffs).
