Socrates South Shows the Benefits of Consumer-Regulated Electricity

Written By Glen Lyons

“…the typical permitting timeline for natural gas projects in grid operator PJM is 7.4 years. No natural gas-fired power plant over 100 MW that entered the queue since 2018 has come online as of early 2026. Socrates South is currently delivering 200 MW in less than two years by using a parallel path.”

CRE doesn’t require gas. If you want SMRs, solar+storage, or some other new technology (fusion anyone?), you’ll get more of it faster through CRE policy than today’s alternatives.
