FERC Order 1000 as a New Tool for Promoting Energy Efficiency and Demand Response

摘要

FERC's decision to strengthen regional transmission planning through Order 1000 should be celebrated by those who care about setting our country on a path toward a sustainable energy future. Order 1000's reforms have tremendous potential to update regional planning efforts to incorporate consideration of our evolving energy priorities and needs. However, it will be up to transmission providers to determine how to translate the general principles of Order 1000 into transparent, inclusive regional planning processes.
