Energy Infrastructure, Siting, and Reliability Committee

We foster the development of practical resources to address the challenges of modernizing and expanding the nation's energy infrastructure for both traditional and renewable energy sources, and of balancing competing interests in the siting process. The issues include (1) siting and construction of new energy infrastructure including natural gas pipelines, electric transmission lines, and renewable energy resources; (2) providing adequate, reliable, and affordable supplies of energy while protecting environmental quality; (3) ensuring meaningful public participation; (4) resolution of differences among national, regional, state, and local energy policies and planning; and (5) streamlining of siting processes through consolidation of licensing and better agency coordination.
