Bill > HR4126

This bill aims to address the current and future electrical power requirements of airports in the United States. The key provisions are: 1. It amends the definition of "airport development" in the existing law to include assessing an airport's current and future electrical power demand, as well as improving the reliability and efficiency of the airport's power supply. 2. It establishes a program under which the Secretary of Transportation encourages airport sponsors to conduct airport planning and development to increase energy efficiency or meet future electrical power demands. The Secretary can also provide reimbursement for the costs of conducting such assessments. 3. It authorizes the Secretary to establish a pilot program to support public-use airports in acquiring, operating, and installing equipment to support the operations of electric aircraft, and constructing or modifying infrastructure to facilitate the delivery of power or services necessary for the use of electric aircraft. The bill aims to help airports prepare for the growing demand for electrical power, particularly with the increasing adoption of electric aircraft and ground support equipment.
