Washington, D.C. — Turn Forward’s Executive Director, Hillary Bright, today released the following statement about the SPEED Act advancing through committee:
“We appreciate the Committee’s work to inform and advance the bipartisan SPEED Act. The package passed today provides much-needed certainty for investors looking to support large-scale energy projects that take more than one Presidential Administration to construct. Reforms to modernize our inconsistent and inefficient permitting regime are urgently needed to meet America’s growing electricity demand. Advancing this bill through committee is an important step in the right direction.”
