AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to hold a technical conference within 90 days after the law is enacted. The conference would be led by FERC commissioners and include the Department of Energy, utilities, transmission providers, state regulators, ratepayer advocates, and large electricity users such as data centers used for artificial intelligence. It would focus on strategies and rate structures to protect residential and small business electricity customers from cost increases tied to large electricity users. Within 180 days after the conference ends, FERC would have to send a report with recommendations and best practices to the House and Senate energy committees.
