Faster Grid Connection: Prioritizing Reliable Power Sources for Stability.

This law requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to reform how new power plants connect to the grid. It prioritizes "dispatchable power" projects—those that can quickly adjust output—to enhance grid reliability and resilience. For citizens, this means a more stable and secure electricity supply, reducing the likelihood of widespread power outages caused by system disturbances.
Key points
FERC must create new rules to prioritize the connection of power projects that significantly improve the reliability and adequacy of the electric grid.
Transmission providers can propose moving reliable, quick-response power projects to the front of the interconnection queue.
The goal is to speed up the deployment of power sources capable of rapid adjustments, ensuring consistent electricity delivery to homes and businesses.
