1825613	227142df-209d-4e77-a362-9c3a08b8da83	Q1	INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS	19822	INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS	2016	first_quarter	UTI	SUPPORT: 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 base load power generation has made the grid more dependent on less reliable resources. Under these conditions, it has been difficult for base load generation to clear capacity market auctions thus placing grid reliability at risk. Section 4302 is an attempt to fix this problem. SUPPORT: 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 (42 USC 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.
