The U.S. solar industry’s top priority for permitting reform is the speedy deployment of more transmission infrastructure that fairly distributes costs among everyone who benefits from it.

• It is also the #1 cause of interconnection delays, which increase costs for consumers and businesses
• The TAP Act’s NEPA exclusions for transmission upgrades and related activities are a good first step
