GRID Power Act
Sen. Hoeven Introduces GRID Power Act to Prioritize Reliable Energy Projects
The GRID Power Act is currently being reviewed by a Senate subcommittee. The committee recently held hearings to discuss the bill, which shows it is still actively moving through the process. There are no further actions scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While the bill has bipartisan support and addresses a major national issue, most individual energy bills struggle to pass unless they are included in a much larger spending package.
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
FERC staff would take on significant new workload: writing new interconnection rules within a tight 180-day deadline, reviewing queue prioritization proposals within 60 days, and conducting five-year periodic reviews. This creates new responsibilities and time pressure for the agency's workforce.
“not later than 60 days after a proposal is submitted pursuant to subsection (a)(2), the Commission shall-- (1) review the proposal; and (2) approve or deny the proposal.”
