NPC urges immediate permitting reform and infrastructure buildout to address demand growth and sector interdependence, warning of risks to reliability and consumer costs.

  • The NPC released two Future Energy Systems reports, urging permitting reform and infrastructure buildout, at the Secretary of Energy's request, without specific dates mentioned.
  • Rising peak loads and tighter infrastructure mean both natural gas sector and electric sector face rapid winter demand growth and risk cascading outages from operational misalignments, NPC members warned.
