The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) recent action on large load interconnections signals a shift in how it addresses transmission access and cost allocation for growing demand, particularly from data centers.
In this webinar, ASG Partner and former FERC Commissioner Allison Clements joins Digital Infrastructure Practice Co-chair Steven Shparber to discuss FERC’s decision to launch six Section 206 proceedings and its implications for improving "speed to power" while balancing cost responsibility and state authority.
What you'll learn:
- How FERC’s new Section 206 proceedings reshape large load interconnections and regulatory strategy
- The key reform areas — cost allocation, co-location, flexibility, and study processes — and their practical impact
- Strategic risks and opportunities for developers, utilities, and other stakeholders navigating evolving rules
