## Summary

**Prioritizing dispatchable power projects in interconnection queues.** This bill would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rewrite interconnection rules so projects that provide reliable, on-demand power can move ahead in queues when they clearly improve grid reliability and resource adequacy. - Developers of dispatchable power projects: Could gain higher positions in interconnection queues when a transmission provider demonstrates the projects will improve grid reliability or resilience. - Transmission providers, Independent System Operators, and Regional Transmission Organizations: May submit prioritization proposals that must include a demonstration of need, a public comment and stakeholder engagement process, and regular reporting to the Commission. - The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission: Would have to open a rulemaking within 90 days, issue final regulations within 180 days, and review those rules at least every 5 years. - Grid operators and electricity users: The goal is faster, more cost-effective interconnection of on-demand resources to help maintain reliable supply and adapt to major disturbances.
