Reliable Power Act

What this bill does

  • The bill requires annual reliability assessments of the nation's electric power system by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.
  • Federal agencies, FERC, the Department of Energy, and the EPA are affected when generation capacity risks emerge.
  • FERC must review and approve federal regulations affecting power generation before they take effect if reliability is at risk.

    How would requiring FERC to review federal regulations before they take effect balance environmental protections against concerns about grid reliability?

  2. 02

    Which federal agencies' current regulations might face delays under this bill, and how could that affect their ability to enforce existing standards?

  3. 03

    What metrics should the annual reliability assessments use to determine when generation capacity poses enough risk to trigger federal review?
