AI Summary

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Order 2023, agreeing that the agency acted properly. The order requires grid operators to tackle long‑standing interconnection queue delays and accelerate the process for new projects. It mandates reforms to add more clean energy—wind, solar, and batteries—to the grid. The backlog, largely composed of these renewable projects, has built up due to poor planning, opaque study processes, and significant study delays. The court’s ruling supports the Sierra Club’s defense of the order and its goal of speeding up clean‑energy interconnections.
