To address growing energy needs, tech companies seek to strike deals with power plants to plug in directly instead of connecting through the grid. MITEI Director Bill Green speaks with Associated Press reporter Marc Levy about a recent FERC decision to block a new "behind-the-meter" deal. “The companies, they’re very frustrated because they have a business opportunity now that’s really big,” says Green. “And if they’re delayed five years in the queue, for example — I don’t know if it would be five years, but years anyway — they might completely miss the business opportunity.”
