Reliable Grid Act of 2024

This bill would prevent the EPA from enforcing regulations that could force premature shutdowns of reliable coal and natural gas power plants. It requires the EPA to halt enforcement of such rules until the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) confirms the grid is operating with sufficient reliability ("Normal Risk" per NERC's 2023 assessment). The bill specifically targets EPA proposals like the greenhouse gas standards for power plants, aiming to avoid electricity shortages by preserving existing reliable generation capacity. It does not create new regulations but blocks enforcement of current proposals pending grid reliability assessments.
