Bill > HCR3015

This concurrent resolution urges the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), two regional transmission organizations responsible for managing electricity transmission, to take urgent action to address market failures that are causing power generation capacity retirements to exceed new capacity additions. The resolution highlights concerns about grid reliability, noting warnings from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation about potential energy shortages, particularly in regions served by SPP and MISO. It calls for reforming market pricing mechanisms to appropriately value critical reliability attributes like fuel availability, rapid start-up capability, and voltage stability, and to support the continued operation of dispatchable base-load generation resources. The resolution also advocates for a balanced energy strategy that fairly compensates different types of energy resources, including thermal, renewable, and emerging technologies like hydrogen and carbon capture, with the ultimate goal of maintaining an affordable, reliable, and resilient electric power grid that can meet consumer demand under various conditions.
