Posts - Bill - S 1020 A bill to require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to extend the time period during which licensees are required to commence construction of certain hydropower projects.
senate 03/13/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to give developers of certain hydropower projects more time to start construction by allowing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to extend their deadlines by up to six years. This aims to support the completion of important energy projects that were licensed before 2020 but have faced delays.

Extensions can help, but too much waiting turns action into inaction.

Six more years? That’s like giving climate change a caffeine break it doesn’t need.

Delays might be practical, but don’t let them become a permanent excuse.

Good, more time to build without government breathing down their necks.
