Isolated Systems No Insurance of Power
Federal Power Commission chairman Joseph C. Swidler told Congress isolated electric systems are unthinkable in a modern industrial economy and urged stronger laws, more funding, and a bigger staff to improve reliability after the Northeast blackout. He cited bridges’ learning under failure and warned federal reach may grow to cover all electricity firms, while Congress weighs regional grids and intrastate limits. The inquiry, led by Rep. Walter Rogers, aims to nail down causes and address national energy policy and regulatory reach.
