SPEED Act and transformer shortage pair as two federal-action gaps that compound each other. Permitting delays extend project timelines; transformer lead times are fixed at 4-5 years regardless. Post 081 records no movement on either front.
The federal layer of the energy story was quiet in this window. No Senate permitting text appeared, the Jones Act waiver held under its April extension, US LNG saw only a procedural notice, and no fresh transformer supply data was published. The action this cycle was at the state level and in private deals, not in Washington.
