1776604	0a3c041d-b6d3-4681-af88-5694400830ee	Q4	INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS	19822	INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS	2015	fourth_quarter	UTI	The IBEW urged Congress to support language found in Section 4302 of the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015 that would help address grid reliability in deregulated electricity markets. Competitive market conditions, cumulative environmental regulations, and capacity market rules that disadvantage baseload power generation has made the grid more dependent on less reliable resources. Under these conditions, it has been difficult for baseload generation to clear capacity market auctions thus placing grid reliability at risk. Section 4302 is an attempt to fix this problem. The Plains & Eastern Clean Line is an approximately 700-mile direct current transmission line that will deliver wind energy from the Oklahoma Panhandle region to utilities and customers in the Mid-South and Southeastern United States. The project meets the Section 1222 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42US.C 16421) authority to approve a major interstate electrical transmission plan. IBEW strongly supports section 1222 authority and has opposed efforts by any member of congress to offer bills or amendments to any bill circumventing that authority.
