## Summary

**Prioritizes dispatchable power in interconnection queues to strengthen grid reliability and resource adequacy.** It would direct the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rewrite interconnection procedures, set firm timelines, and let transmission providers submit plans to move dispatchable projects ahead in the queue when they can show a reliability or resilience benefit. - Grid operators and households: Could see fewer shortfalls and faster recovery from disturbances as more predictable, dispatchable resources get faster access to the grid. - Developers of dispatchable projects: Would get a clearer path to prioritized, cost-effective interconnection if they demonstrate how their project improves reliability or resilience and engage in stakeholder review. - Transmission providers, ISOs, and RTOs: Would be authorized to propose queue-prioritization plans with public comment and regular reporting. FERC would have 60 days to approve or deny proposals, must issue final regulations within 180 days, and must review the rules at least every 5 years.
