Balderson-led Bill Would Expose How Misguided Policies Are Putting Americans At Risk of Power Outages. “As the federal government drives reliable power generation into retirement, the American people should know the corresponding risks that misguided policies pose to long-term grid reliability.”
Washington,
May 4, 2023
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12) announced the introduction of legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives today that would provide increased transparency and information on the long-term reliability of America’s electrical grid. Under H.R. 2875, NERC would be required to submit a report to Congress that:
PJM Interconnection – one of the nation’s largest grid operators – released an alarming report of its own earlier this year showing that America’s growing power demands, coupled with the retirement of existing fossil fuel power generation, far outweighs renewable sources’ capacity to meet consumer demands. PJM’s analysis shows that 40 gigawatts of existing generation are at risk of retirement by 2030, more than half of which is a result of certain state- and federal-level policy decisions.
