Report Highlights 30 Stalled Energy Projects Facing Permitting Delays Across 6 States

  • New research from Americans for Prosperity highlights 30 stalled energy projects across 6 states that are facing permitting delays. This includes fossil fuel, renewable, mining, and transmission projects.

  • Delays are attributed to cumbersome regulations, litigation risk, administrative burdens, and uncertainty that chill investment. This raises energy costs for consumers.

  • Examples include the stalled Resolution Copper mine in Arizona, Yellow Pine Solar in Nevada, Constitution Pipeline in PA/NY, and Gordon Butte hydro project in Montana.

  • The research comes as Congress negotiates permitting reform to speed up energy project timelines, led by Sen. Joe Manchin. His bill failed to pass the Senate in December.

  • Reforms aim to curb permitting delays to boost energy security and lower costs, but face opposition from some environmental groups.
