This legislation would amend Section 111(d) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies
Act (PURPA) to require each state regulatory authority to consider establishing a large-load
standard to provide that a rate charged, or related agreement entered into, by an electric utility for
providing electric service to a large-load customer shall recover the full, incremental cost of any
generation, transmission, or distribution upgrade necessary to serve the load of such customer
and to provide for financial assurances to cover such upgrades. The legislation would define
large-load customers as non-residential electric consumers requesting electric energy for one or

B. H.R. 9332, Load Forecasting Enhancement Act (Reps. Balderson and Menendez)
This legislation would direct the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to hold
regional joint boards with state public utility commissions to study and identify best practices for
electric load forecasting that enhance the reliability and affordability of electric service to
customers, and to develop best practices related to load forecasting. The legislation requires a
FERC report to Congress with recommendations from the joint boards and requires each state
regulatory authority to consider incorporating the report’s recommendations regarding load
forecasting. Further, the legislation would amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act
(EPCA) to include in state energy conservation plans procedures and programs to improve
accuracy, oversight, and transparency to stakeholders of load forecasting by electric utilities.
C. H.R. 9339, Affordable Innovation for the Grid Act (Reps. Harshbarger and Mullin)

maintain a publicly available clearinghouse that identifies advanced transmission technologies
(ATT), analyses, and financial assistance related to the technologies, and would require the
Secretary to provide technical assistance to utilities, transmission organizations, and states
seeking such assistance concerning ATT. The legislation would enable states to include
programs to facilitate deployment of ATT in state energy conservation plans. The legislation
would provide that any DOE financial assistance for ATT would not be considered a major
federal action under the National Environmental Policy Act. The legislation would require the
Secretary to establish best practices for utilities to reduce the risk of wildfire ignition from the
bulk power system. This legislation was amended during the Energy Subcommittee markup on
June 24, 2026, to clarify provisions related to NEPA under section 2.
E. H.R. 6633, High-Capacity Grid Act (Rep. Fedorchak)

modifications, or replacements. The legislation would establish that a utility is precluded from
recovering any costs for conductors, except for conductors meeting the standard, unless the
utility can demonstrate that use of such conductors is not prudent and the associated costs are not
just and reasonable. This legislation was amended during the Energy Subcommittee markup on
June 24, 2026, to establish, in consultation with DOE, a Best Available Transmission Conductor
Class and to streamline the process for FERC to implement requirements for public utilities
associated with the establishment of such class of conductors.

increased costs associated with large loads. Participants would include DOE, utilities,
transmission providers, state regulators, consumer advocates, and large loads. FERC would
report to Congress on recommendations and best practices resulting from the conference. This legislation was amended during the Energy Subcommittee markup on June 24, 2026, to clarify
that the authorities of FERC under the proposed technical conference are focused on federal
authorities.

penalty of $125,000 or more to have the opportunity for a formal hearing. The section would
also require the Secretary of Transportation to establish protocols for hearings under this section
to ensure orderly process and protection of confidential information.
Sec. 5. Special Permit Program. This section would require that any terms placed on
safety waivers (special permits) are specific to the pipeline safety regulation being waived and

program and directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to provide a report on
PHMSA’s implementation of the provision.

PN. 852-3, Kaveh Farzad, of Maryland, to be an Assistant Secretary of Energy (International Affairs), vice Andrew Eilperin Light, resigned. Reported favorably on party lines 11-9, McCormick aye by proxy.
Kevin Lilly is the acting assistant secretary for fish, wildlife, and parks at the Interior Department—a position that oversees both the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Lilly is a Texas wealth manager with no conservation experience. He holds the acting position illegally.
Lilly resigned his position as the chair of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission in order to join the Trump administration as a political appointee. Lilly founded Avalon Advisors, the “largest privately owned wealth management firm in Texas,” according to Southwestern University.
Farzad serves as Managing Director for Global Public Affairs and as Director at FGS Global. During the first Trump administration, he served as the Arabian Peninsula and West Africa Lead at the U.S. Department of Energy, as Chief Speechwriter and Communications Advisor to the U.S. Embassy of the Holy See and as Public Affairs Specialist for the Bureau of Energy Resources at the U.S. Department of State. He was previously a Senior Communications Officer at the Pacific Council on International Policy.
Sens. Heinrich and Hickenlooper attended to provide a quorum despite the absence of Sen. McCormick (R-Pa.).
According to Organ Mountain News, Heinrich said Lilly “had taken his calls, listened to his concerns and demonstrated a willingness to work with him.”
“For that reason, I will vote to report his nomination,” Heinrich said.
