S 4080 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to require the Secretary of Energy to conduct a study and submit a report on national resource adequacy, and for other purposes.

This bill requires the Energy Secretary to study whether the U.S. electricity grid can reliably meet future demand as power plants retire and renewable energy grows. The study must examine impacts of retiring coal/nuclear plants, how variable wind/solar power affects grid stability, and whether more reliable power sources or transmission lines are needed to match peak demand. It also analyzes future electricity demand under climate change, decarbonization, and economic shifts. The Secretary must submit findings and recommendations to Congress within 180 days of the bill becoming law.
