Amendments to Electric Generation Facility Closures and Reliability Act

Task Forces: Energy, Environment and Agriculture

Draft Disclaimer

Prior to task force meetings, ALEC posts these legislative member-submitted draft model policies to our website. The draft model policies are then discussed, debated, and voted on by ALEC task force members. Policies that receive final approval by legislators on the ALEC Board of Directors become official ALEC model policy. Draft model policies that fail to become official ALEC model policy are removed from the website.

Summary

The Electric Generation Facility Closures and Reliability Act would prevent shuttering traditional power plants before new generation sources are online and ready to operate. Power plants are closing across the country before new sources of electricity come online, putting Americans at risk for rolling blackouts.
