Reliable Grid Act: Protecting Power Supply Stability

This act aims to ensure stable and affordable electricity supply in the United States. It prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from enforcing regulations that could lead to the premature shutdown of reliable power plants, such as those using coal or natural gas. This is intended to prevent power shortages and maintain grid stability, directly impacting citizens' daily lives, safety, and energy costs.
Key points
Protection of existing power plants: The EPA will be prohibited from forcing the closure of power plants crucial for stable electricity supply until the power grid is deemed fully secure.
Prioritizing reliability: The act emphasizes that reliable power supply is more important than certain environmental regulations to avoid power outages.
Preventing energy shortages: The goal is to avoid situations where electricity is scarce, which could lead to higher bills and problems with energy access, especially during peak demand or extreme weather conditions.
