Question 1: How does the implementation of "grid modernization" relate to regulatory compliance for energy utilities?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It requires utilities to adopt new technologies that ensure more reliable and efficient energy distribution while meeting regulatory standards

It reduces regulatory requirements for utilities that continue using older, less efficient grid infrastructure

It has minimal impact on regulatory compliance, as modernization is not mandated by any regulations

It allows utilities to bypass environmental regulations by relying on outdated infrastructure

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It mandates the phasing out of fossil fuel energy sources by 2030

It enforces carbon capture regulations for coal-fired power plants

It provides incentives and mandates for renewable energy development, including tax credits for wind and solar projects

It establishes renewable energy mandates for federal government energy consumption
