Consumers across the country are footing the bill for billions of dollars in transmission upgrades. And yet, many state regulators have little insight into how that money is actually being spent, particularly regarding local and small transmission projects. That’s leading FERC and utilities to clash about how much oversight there should be. POLITICO’S Catherine Morehouse breaks down why regulators are starting to pay more attention to how small power lines are built and the implications for U.S. consumers. Plus, Canada has teased two new clean technology tax credits in response to the Inflation Reduction Act.
