Summary
The DATA Act of 2026 amends the Federal Power Act to create a new category of electric utility called a 'consumer-regulated electric utility' (CREU) that would be exempt from federal regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Department of Energy. CREUs are defined as newly established, physically isolated electric systems that serve new loads not previously served by existing utilities and operate independently of the bulk-power system. The bill exempts CREUs from rate regulation, reliability standards, interconnection requirements, and merger approval processes, and allows them to construct facilities within public rights-of-way subject only to restoration and safety requirements.
