Integrated Resource Planning Modernization Act

This bill directs the U.S. Department of Energy to develop and publish guidelines and best practices for integrated resource planning, which is how utilities and states plan future electricity generation, storage, and transmission. The guidelines must be published online within 2 years and reviewed at least every 5 years. The Department would provide training and technical assistance to states, utilities, and grid operators. It would also create a grant program, subject to available funding, to help states update their planning rules or strategies to match the guidelines, with grants required to be used within 5 years.
