Bill overview
This bill clarifies that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has authority over how large energy users (large load facilities) connect to the electric grid, especially when those connections involve interstate commerce. It defines a ‘large load facility’ as one with a projected peak electricity demand of 100 megawatts or more, and establishes procedures for interconnection. The bill aims to ensure the reliability of the power grid and fair access to transmission services. Importantly, it preserves the authority of states and local governments over local energy matters.
