If you haven’t submitted comments yet to the second installment of the Quadrennial Energy Review, you only have a few days left to do so. The deadline for submitting comments is July 1, 2016 – less than two weeks away. The Quadrennial Energy Review (QER) process, which has involved robust engagement of federal agencies and outside stakeholders including a series of public meetings held across the country, further enables the federal government to translate policy goals into a set of analytically based, integrated actions for proposed investments over a four-year planning horizon.

The first installment of the QER, which examined the nation's infrastructure for transmission, storage, and distribution, including liquid and natural gas pipelines, the grid, and shared transport such as rail, waterways, and ports, was released in April, 2015. Given the critical enabling role of electricity articulated in the first installment, the Administration has determined that the second installment of the QER will develop a set of findings and policy recommendations to help guide the modernization of the nation’s electric grid and ensure its continued reliability, safety, security, affordability, and environmental performance through 2040.  Submit your comments today!
