Summary
This bill amends the Federal Power Act to restrict the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) emergency authority to keep fossil fuel power plants operating. It prohibits FERC from using emergency orders to prevent or delay retirement of fossil fuel facilities unless a transmission organization requests a delay and demonstrates that an emergency cannot be met any other way. The bill requires FERC to consider environmental alternatives, hold public hearings, analyze rate impacts, and publish detailed reports on costs and emergency causes before issuing or renewing such orders. It also mandates that utilities notify customers within 60 days of any order's impacts and costs.
