Jul 23 2025


WASHINGTON, D.C. July 23, 2025鈥� The 欧美情色片 Association (欧美情色片) released the following statement from 欧美情色片 Vice President of Markets & Transmission Carrie Zalewski after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission鈥檚 (FERC) of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) and Southwest Power Pool鈥檚 proposed Expedited Resource Addition Study (ERAS) proposals:

鈥淔ERC鈥檚 approval of MISO and SPP鈥檚 ERAS proposals is a dangerous misstep, ignoring widely acknowledged market realities while signing off on the potential for major disruption for projects that have gone through the proper processes to be connected to the grid. The fastest growing sources of energy鈥攕olar, wind, and energy storage technologies鈥攁re the ones ready to deploy to help keep costs lower and power reliable for the more than 60 million American consumers served across both territories.

鈥淢aintaining reliable and affordable power requires a diversified grid and predictable measures to bring new resources online. We are committed to advancing this shared goal and responsibility in a way that instills confidence and benefits consumers and will work with stakeholders in SPP and MISO to ensure these approved requests do not set a precedent that will cause lasting damage.”
