Summary
The bill changes the Federal Power Act so that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s jurisdiction over how large electricity users connect to the transmission system is clear. It also requires the development of standards and procedures for those interconnections. This would affect big industrial or commercial electricity customers and the utilities that serve them by providing a more predictable process for grid connections.
