Description

Is intense federal oversight stifling the renewable energy boom, or enabling it? We break down FERC Order No. 913, detailing the move toward proactive, decade-long operational scrutiny applied to reliability standards, specifically focusing on improved cold weather preparedness and communications. Simultaneously, the $1.25 billion TotalEnergies/KKR deal validates the capital recycling model and confirms contracted solar assets are now seen as stable, mainstream infrastructure, suitable for conservative insurance capital. Tune in to understand how operators and investors can navigate the strategic tension between rapid financial expansion and deep, sustained regulatory rigor that will define the utility sector for years to come.
