Electricity Transmission Scorecard Act

This bill would require companies that own or run electricity transmission lines to publish a standardized "scorecard" report twice a year, covering items such as transmission costs to customers, financing costs, reliability, interconnection timelines, and spending on lobbying and advertising recovered through customer rates. Regional grid operators would publish yearly regional scorecards, including market efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions intensity. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission would set uniform metrics within one year, approve independent evaluators to verify scorecards, and arrange audits by National Laboratories or other institutions. The Department of Energy would post all scorecards and data on a public, searchable website within 18 months and publish yearly rankings.
