To amend the Federal Power Act to require generating facilities to provide advance notices for retiring electric generating units, and for other purposes.
This bill requires power companies to give the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), grid reliability organizations, and state regulators a 5-year advance notice before retiring any electric generating unit that produces at least 5 megawatts. It directly affects utility companies operating large power plants, ensuring grid operators have sufficient time to plan for potential power shortages. The notice must be made publicly available, with exceptions only for unplanned retirements due to emergencies or disasters. This provision aims to strengthen grid reliability by providing early visibility into planned capacity reductions.
