Rulemakers

Even if Microsoft's Three Mile Island reactor was ready in 2027, it wouldn’t generate power until 2031. The gap is the grid, and the rules for who pays to fix it. FERC's entire mandate is three words: just and reasonable. Its June 18 orders split the fight across six grid regions, each told to make large loads pay their own way. Joseph Zeballos-Roig follows the rulemaking that surrounds the bill. CREDITS: Power Play is a production by Quartz and The Capitalist Hippie. Reported by Jackie Snow, Catherine Baab, and Joseph Zeballos-Roig. Hosted by Marco Pimentel. Produced by Simon Litt. Edited by Georgina Kemp Walker.
