Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Summary
The DATA Act defines and authorizes "consumer‑regulated electric utilities" (CREUs) that can be built after the law’s enactment to serve new electric loads. These utilities operate completely isolated from the existing bulk‑power system and are not subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy, or other federal oversight unless they choose to connect to the larger grid. The bill aims to encourage alternative, locally controlled power generation by removing regulatory barriers.
