GRID Power Act

This bill directs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to create new rules improving how new "dispatchable power" projects (like natural gas plants or battery storage that can be turned on when needed) connect to the grid. Transmission providers (utilities, grid operators) must propose prioritizing these projects in the interconnection queue to boost grid reliability and resilience, demonstrating how this improves service and allowing public input before submitting proposals. FERC must complete this rulemaking within 180 days of the bill's enactment, with regular updates every five years. The bill directly affects transmission providers and developers of new power projects by changing interconnection procedures to speed up reliable grid upgrades.
