urging New Hampshire's congressional representatives to advocate for a change in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's policy.

This bill urges New Hampshire's U.S. congressional representatives to seek changes to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) policy for electric transmission projects. Currently, FERC assumes all transmission project costs are justified unless proven otherwise, unlike New Hampshire's public utilities commission (PUC), which reviews distribution project costs. The resolution requests that FERC require transmission project costs to be proven "just and reasonable" before utility customers can pay for them. It directly affects New Hampshire ratepayers who fund transmission costs and asks congressional members to advocate for this policy shift. The bill is a non-binding resolution, not a law, focused on changing FERC's default approach to cost review.
