Relative to electrical grid reliability.
Summary
This measure would request the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to include in its investigation of the Southwest Power Outage an inquiry as to whether the balancing authorities were in compliance with rules that require a balancing authority to be able to maintain reliability in the event that one part of the system fails, to provide information to the Legislature on the status of its investigation into the Southwest Power Outage, and to provide oversight to the North American Electric Reliability Council and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council in a manner that ensures that balancing authorities are prepared for unplanned outages in the event that they are relying on electricity from or through another balancing authority.
