Representatives Peters and Evans Introduce CLEAR Act to Streamline Power Line Project Approvals

Representatives Scott Peters (D-CA) and Gabe Evans (R-CO) introduced the Certainty in Litigation for Electric Asset Reliability (CLEAR) Act of 2026. This bipartisan legislation aims to streamline the buildout of major power line projects by aligning judicial review standards for Department of Energy-coordinated transmission projects with those under the Federal Power Act, thereby reducing delays and lowering electricity costs.
