There’s few organizations as important as MFCR in Michigan. It’s been my distinct pleasure to serve as Chairman and I’m looking forward to everything the next group of leaders will do in the coming years. Hope to see everyone at our statewide convention next month!

All set and ready to go for day 2 of the MFCR Women’s Conference!

Finally, some common-sense legislation

Electric transmission has been politicized and wrongfully characterized as a tool solely needed to achieve climate goals. While it's necessary to integrate vast amounts of renewables and achieve decarbonization, transmission also does much more. More from Davis Strobridge.

Congratulations to David Rosner, Lindsay See and Judy Chang on their confirmation as @FERC members! We are looking forward to working together with the entire Commission for a more resilient and reliable grid.

The recently introduced Energy Permitting Reform Act highlights the urgent need for streamlining transmission buildout. More on why policy should promote interregional grid planning and reflect transmission as a critical tool in meeting energy demand. ➡️ow.ly/vtR250SOtm1

Competition isn’t "the cure" for transmission development! Studies show it can cause delays and increase costs. Instead of speeding up, it complicates processes, hindering power grid upgrades. 💡 We need smart policy for efficient, resilient development! ow.ly/iI1L50T9L7Z

Permitting reform is crucial to meet growing energy demand, build a resilient grid and support the adoption of renewables. ➡️More on permitting reform from ITC President, Krista Tanner, in an article by RTO Insider™: ow.ly/cRYw50Tvyoj

When Cardinal-Hickory Creek is finally energized!

Congratulations to Mark C. Christie on being appointed as Chairman of FERC. We look forward to continued collaboration with FERC to build a reliable, future-ready grid.
