Overview

This bill, the State Planning for Reliability and Affordability Act, amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to require states to consider the reliable availability of electricity over a 10-year period when reviewing electric utility plans.

The bill also establishes a timeline for state regulatory authorities to consider and determine compliance with this new standard.
