Bill overview
The Connect the Grid Act aims to improve the reliability of the electric grid, particularly in Texas, by facilitating interconnection with neighboring states and regions. It modifies federal regulations to allow Texas’s Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to connect to the broader power grid, establishes minimum transfer capability requirements, and prioritizes environmentally conscious siting of new transmission lines. The bill also increases funding for grid modernization and directs a study on the benefits of interconnection with Mexico.
