Key claim: The bill would amend the Federal Power Act to allow certain interstate and offshore wind transmission projects to charge customer fees based on the estimated benefits their facilities provide.
Abstract
(HR2750 · 118th Congress) Enhancing Electric Grid Resilience Act This bill modifies requirements under the Federal Power Act to allow certain interstate or offshore wind transmission facilities to charge their customers fees that are commensurate with the estimated anticipated benefits provided by the facilities. Latest action (2023-04-20): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Why this matters
Allocating transmission costs by estimated benefits would affect which customers pay for eligible interstate and offshore wind transmission facilities and how those projects recover costs. The bill remains introduced and referred to committee, so it does not itself change current charges; the finding provides no estimate of effects on electricity bills, project construction, or emissions.
