Coalition Letter in Support of Removing Federal Barriers to Off-Grid Power
“The DATA Act would provide an important opportunity for innovation in the power sector by removing unnecessary federal obstacles for companies that want to create solutions that best meet their power needs. This opportunity for innovation poses zero cost and zero risk to taxpayers. The cost and risk of investment in off-grid systems falls only on those who build them and is not borne by the broader grid or its ratepayers.
…Congress should allow a parallel path for those who would like to develop new power more quickly or use more innovative and unproven technologies. This quintessentially American approach would allow permissionless innovation by electricity entrepreneurs who could develop new ways to meet rising demand while protecting the existing power grid and ratepayers.”
