Planning, Public - As introduced, enacts the "Electric Grid Resilience, Transparency, and Planning Act." - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13; Title 58 and Title 65.

HB 2169, the "Electric Grid Resilience, Transparency, and Planning Act," requires Tennessee's local electric utilities serving at least 10,000 customers to publicly share detailed planning and performance data. Key provisions include annual reports on outage patterns, vegetation management plans, and 10-year grid resilience plans outlining hardening strategies like undergrounding or automation. Utilities must also publish after-action reports following major outages and maintain minimum emergency communication standards (e.g., hourly updates during crises). The bill focuses on increasing transparency and accountability for grid reliability, directly affecting city and county utility providers across Tennessee.
