Prohibits using emergency authority to keep fossil fuel-powered electric facilities online.
The No Big Fossil Bailouts on Your Power Bill Act amends the Federal Power Act to prevent the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission from using emergency authority to keep fossil fuel-powered electric generating facilities or fossil fuel power plants online. The bill requires the Commission to consider alternatives that meet the emergency and minimize environmental impacts before issuing such an order. It also mandates public notice and analysis of the emergency, its causes, and the order's impacts on electric utilities and customers.
