California Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders reached a budget deal that includes most of Newsom's controversial energy infrastructure bills.

Debt deal limits page counts and time on environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act, but other work remains, and frustrations surface.

The bill to accelerate development of new transmission lines passed the state Senate on a vote of 36-0 and is now headed for the lower house.

A debt ceiling compromise reached by President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy would cut NEPA review times but would not roll back IRA climate provisions.

The United States Energy Association saw a change of leadership and heard from speakers on the transition to clean energy at its annual meeting.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has bold words for transitioning to clean energy, including on permitting, but his plan lacks some specifics.

Sen. Tom Carper's PEER Act would expand FERC’s permitting role; Republican bills have opposed the move.

Biden may not agree with all provisions in Sen. Manchin’s permitting bill, but he will support it to start negotiations in the Senate, a key adviser said.

All four FERC commissioners testified at an oversight hearing on Thursday, with senators praising its recent approval of natural gas infrastructure.
