Federal Power Act amendments focus on grid reliability
Fedorchak
North Dakota’s sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Republican freshman Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak, has introduced the Baseload Reliability Protection Act.
The bill aims to “amend the Federal Power Act to prohibit retirements of baseload electric generating units in any area that is served by a Regional Transmission Organization or an Independent System Operator and that the North American Electric Reliability Corporation [NERC] categorizes as at elevated risk or high risk of electricity supply shortfalls, and for other purposes.”
A summary of the legislation is available on Fedorchak’s House website.
Amendments: The Baseload Reliability Protection Act would amend the Federal Power Act in the following ways:
