GRID Savings Act of 2026 establishes standards for large load interconnection to transmission systems.

The GRID Savings Act of 2026 amends the Federal Power Act to clarify the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's jurisdiction over the interconnection of large loads to transmission systems. It mandates the Commission to issue a final rule establishing standards and procedures for such interconnections, including criteria for covered large loads, voluntary funding mechanisms, and cost allocation. The act defines terms like "covered large load" and "Direct Assignment Facility," and it specifies that the rule must include pro forma provisions and regionally tailored requirements.
