"In October, DOE designated two National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors in the Northeast and Southwest United States - two of the Nation's most populous regions with growing electricity congestion problems. The Department based its designations on sound data and analysis showing that there is persistent electricity transmission congestion within the corridors.
"These designations followed two months of public review and comment in which time over 2,000 comments were received and evaluated in addition to over 60 hours of public meetings held across the country.
"Last month, various parties requested that the Department review these designations. In order to give these requests full consideration, DOE will take additional time to thoroughly evaluate the basis of their requests.
"Ensuring adequate infrastructure to supply affordable, reliable, and secure electricity to Americans is a national priority and through these designations, the Department is focusing attention on the need for action to keep pace with America's growing energy appetite."
