Accelerating Connection of New Power Plants and Energy Storage to the Grid.

This Act mandates the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to establish new, faster, and more efficient procedures for connecting new energy sources (like power generators and storage projects) to the national transmission grid. The goal is to eliminate bureaucratic delays, which should enhance the reliability of electricity supply and accelerate the development of modern energy infrastructure. Citizens may benefit from more stable and potentially lower-cost electricity.
Key points
FERC Requirement: New rules must be created to force utility providers to process requests for connecting new power sources more quickly and cost-effectively.
Increased Transparency: Grid providers must use standardized criteria, modern technologies, and share detailed information with customers about the interconnection process.
Support for Energy Storage: Regulations cover both traditional generation facilities and energy storage projects (batteries, hydrogen), supporting grid stability.
