Bill overview
The Promoting Cross-border Energy Infrastructure Act aims to streamline the process for approving the construction and operation of energy infrastructure projects that cross the borders of the United States with Canada and Mexico. It establishes a new system requiring a ‘certificate of crossing’ from either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) or the Department of Energy (DOE), depending on the type of facility. The bill also sets deadlines for issuing these certificates and ensures that new electric transmission facilities comply with established reliability standards, while removing the need for Presidential permits for certain modifications to existing projects.
