On July 22, 2024, the US Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee released a draft of the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 (EPRA). The bill includes 19 sections with wide-ranging implications for energy infrastructure and resource extraction.
To help evaluate the overall impact of the bill, RMI examined the transmission provisions and estimated how they could affect US transmission expansion, US clean energy generation, and US grid greenhouse gas emissions.
Transmission is only one part of the bill and greenhouse gas emissions are only one of many metrics that should be evaluated as one considers the merits of this draft legislation.
RMI neither endorses nor opposes the EPRA.
