The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plans to create an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental effects of funding the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub. This project, involving the production and use of clean hydrogen in Washington, Oregon, and Montana, aims to promote sustainable energy. Public input is sought via scoping meetings and comments until March 3, 2025. The DOE will analyze various options, including fully funding the proposed hub, expanding it, or a reduced version, to fulfill legislative mandates for clean hydrogen networks.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is proposing to approve new reliability standards related to frequency and voltage settings, known as PRC-024-4 and PRC-029-1. These standards, submitted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), aim to ensure that electric generators and other inverter-based resources (IBRs) can handle changes in electrical disturbances without shutting down unexpectedly. FERC is seeking public comments on the proposal and plans to direct NERC to provide detailed information on any granted exemptions, especially for older equipment that can't easily meet the new requirements. Comments on this proposal are due by March 24, 2025.

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is considering waiving its Buy America requirements for the purchase of used locomotives that would be converted to run on cleaner energy like electricity or renewable diesel. These efforts aim to replace older, more polluting locomotives with efficient alternatives, reducing emissions and creating domestic jobs. The waiver would apply to Tier 0, Tier 1, and non-tiered locomotives manufactured before 2004 that have stayed in service in the U.S. This waiver would be applicable for five years and allow the replacement of diesel engines with cleaner technologies, but all other construction materials must still meet Buy America standards. The FRA invites public comments on this proposal and suggestions regarding waivers for other products related to manufacturing locomotive batteries or charging stations.
