H.R. 1047: GRID Power Act
Sponsor
Troy Balderson
Republican · OH-12
What H.R. 1047 does
The Guaranteeing Reliability through the Interconnection of Dispatchable Power Act, or GRID Power Act, targets the line of power projects waiting to connect to the high-voltage electric grid. H.R. 1047 would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to issue, and periodically review, a rule that prioritizes dispatchable power projects, such as generating units that run on fossil fuels. The bill defines dispatchable power as generation that can provide known and forecastable supply when needed to keep the grid reliable.
The rule would have to address how well current procedures work so new dispatchable projects that improve reliability can connect quickly, cost-effectively and reliably. It would also let transmission providers propose moving those projects higher in their connection queues, and the commission would have 60 days to approve or deny each proposal.
