Bill > HR6176

This bill requires electricity transmission owners and grid operators to develop and submit comprehensive performance scorecards to improve transparency and accountability in the electric transmission sector. The scorecards would include detailed metrics covering various aspects of transmission performance, such as ratepayer affordability, investment effectiveness, system reliability, interconnection fairness, and greenhouse gas emissions intensity. Covered transmission owners would submit Transmission Investment, Accountability, and Performance Scorecards (TIAPS) biannually, while Regional Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators would submit Regional Investment, Accountability, and Performance Scorecards (RIAPS) annually. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission would standardize the metrics and methodologies, and independent evaluators would verify the accuracy of the scorecards. The Department of Energy would create a public online portal to make these scorecards and underlying data easily accessible. The bill also establishes a stakeholder advisory group to provide ongoing input and requires periodic technical conferences to refine the scorecard process. The ultimate goal is to improve grid performance, reduce costs, enhance reliability, and promote more efficient electricity transmission across the United States.
