It is the policy of the United States that— the planning, siting, permitting, and operation of a modernized and integrated bulk electricity transmission system should facilitate a reliable, resilient, and decarbonized electricity supply and enable national greenhouse gas emissions reductions; electric grid system planning should take into account all significant demand-side and supply-side options, including energy efficiency, distributed and localized electricity generation, smart grid technologies and practices, demand response, energy storage, advanced transmission technologies that increase capacity or efficiency of existing transmission facilities, voltage regulation technologies, high capacity conductor and superconductor technologies, underground transmission technologies, and new conventional electric transmission capacity and corridors; the public interest is served by overcoming regulatory and jurisdictional barriers to coordinated and cost-effective investments in the Nation’s electric grid system that enable deployment of cost-effective clean energy resources; and the Federal Government, through the Department of Energy, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and other relevant agencies, and the national laboratories, should facilitate and advance cost-effective investments in the Nation’s electric grid system, including the bulk electricity transmission system, to enhance reliability, resiliency, and access to clean energy resources by— accounting for a broad range of quantifiable benefits, including reduction in delivered cost of energy, improved reliability and resilience, reduced emissions of criteria air pollutants, and contribution to decarbonizing the electric sector; promoting cost allocation methodologies that transparently allocate costs based on accrued benefits and that account for broad and varied benefits offered by interregional and regional transmission solutions; and prioritizing regional and interregional projects that provide access to demand for clean energy resources.
