Summary of Bill HR 1047

Bill 119 hr 1047, also known as the "Interconnection Queue Reform Act," aims to address issues within the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) interconnection queue process. This process determines the prioritization and approval of certain energy projects, such as renewable energy facilities.

The bill requires FERC to reform the current interconnection queue process to make it more efficient and transparent. This includes establishing clear timelines for project approval, improving communication between stakeholders, and ensuring that projects are prioritized based on their potential benefits to the grid and the environment.

Additionally, the bill aims to streamline the interconnection process for small and medium-sized projects, making it easier for these projects to connect to the grid. This will help promote the development of clean energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Overall, the Interconnection Queue Reform Act seeks to modernize and improve the interconnection process for energy projects, ultimately leading to a more reliable and sustainable energy grid.

Congressional Summary of HR 1047

Guaranteeing Reliability through the Interconnection of Dispatchable Power Act or the GRID Power Act

This bill requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to issue a rule that revises the prioritization and approval process for interconnection requests for dispatchable power projects. (Under the bill, dispatchable power generally refers to an an electric energy generation resource capable of providing known and forecastable electric supply in time intervals necessary to ensure grid reliability.)

First, the rule must address the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing procedures for processing interconnection requests for new dispatchable power projects to ensure that new projects that improve grid reliability and resource adequacy can interconnect to the electric grid quickly, cost-effectively, and reliably.

Second, the rule must revise the pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Procedures, and the pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Agreement as appropriate, to authorize transmission providers to submit proposals to FERC to adjust the interconnection queue of the provider to prioritize new dispatchable power projects that will improve grid reliability and resource adequacy by assigning those projects a higher positions in the queue. FERC must review and approve or deny such proposals within 60 days after the proposal is submitted.

I'm really excited about this new bill that's been proposed. It has the potential to make a huge impact on our energy grid and I think it's a step in the right direction. I believe that this bill will benefit many people, but I'm curious about who will benefit the most from it. Who do you think will benefit the most from this bill?
