Nancy Vu is an energy and environment reporter for the Washington Examiner. Before coming to the Washington Examiner, Nancy was a Congress reporter for Politico.
Senate Republicans introduced a new bill Tuesday meant to streamline the buildout of energy projects by amending the judicial processes often used to delay permit approvals.
The bill would require individuals filing a suit against a project to file within 30 days and necessitates that the individuals are directly affected by the project and focus on the “direct and tangible harms” not considered in the initial authorization process. The measure would create a database, maintained by the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council, for claims that have not been adjudicated within 90 days of filing.
The bill’s introduction highlights slight movement in an otherwise stalled priority for both parties within Congress. Although there is bipartisan support to streamline the permitting process for energy projects, there is large disagreement between the two sides on how to do so. Democrats are also adamant on passing legislation that can help speed up the implementation of high voltage transmission, a component that remains critical to the Biden administration’s decarbonization goals. However, that would require expanded powers for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that could override state authority on permitting and electric rate setting, a nonstarter for Republicans.
