FROM CONGRESSMAN NICK LANGWORTHY: “Americans deserve full transparency about how state policies impact the reliability and cost of their electric energy. That’s why this week, I introduced the State Energy Accountability Act – legislation that will ensure Americans have access to the facts they need and the accountability they deserve.
“Specifically, the bill would amend the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), 111(d) which is a tool Congress uses to encourage states to consider certain policies.
“New York’s stringent climate rules and policies have a tremendously negative effect on every day consumer costs and energy reliability,” said Congressman Langworthy. “Americans are entitled to know every last detail of the effects of state policies on the reliability of their electric energy; the State Energy Accountability Act would give them the transparency they deserve,” Langworthy said.4
“Finding ways to ensure energy reliability is a critical step as we look to safeguard and enhance our grid in the coming years in order to maintain our energy dominance and power AI and advanced manufacturing,” said Chairman Guthrie. “Congressman Langworthy’s legislation would ensure that States consider how renewable energy standards will impact the cost and reliability of American energy, and I’m grateful for his work on this important issue.”
