VICTORY: Courts Rule in Favor of Sierra Club, Approves FERC Order to Speed Up Clean Energy Projects

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Order 2023, directing grid operators to address delays in interconnection queues and add more clean energy to the grid, with 95 percent of projects being wind, solar, or battery related. Despite some grid operators favoring fossil fuels with "fast track" processes, the Sierra Club has been challenging these to promote clean energy access and affordability. The court ruling is a win for clean energy, addressing systemic barriers to technology that can lower emissions and improve grid reliability, ultimately advancing climate solutions.
