International Power Grid Rules Hit Snooze Button
Published Date: 7/14/2025
Rule
Summary
The Department of Energy is pushing back the start date for a new rule about building and running electric power lines that cross U.S. borders because they got a lot of concerns from the public. This affects companies wanting to get permits to connect electricity across countries and might delay their projects. No extra costs are mentioned, but the wait means more time before new projects can begin.

Presidential Permit Rule Delayed
The Department of Energy is extending the effective date of a direct final rule that was published on May 16, 2025 because it received significant adverse comments. If you are a company applying for a Presidential permit to build, connect, operate, or maintain electric transmission across a U.S. border, this extension delays when that rule will take effect and may delay permit-related projects.
