Directs FERC to: (1) adopt, within a year, national electricity grid planning principles derived from such policy to be applied in transmission planning that may implicate interstate transmission of electricity; (2) encourage regional planning entities to cooperate and coordinate across regions and harmonize regional electric grid planning with planning in adjacent or overlapping jurisdictions; (3) seek to ensure that planning is consistent with the national electricity grid planning principles; (4) require regional planning entities to submit initial regional electric grid plans within 18 months of FERC promulgating such principles and to update such plans every three years; and (5) report to Congress within three years on the results of the initial regional grid planning process.

-- In addition to the policy under paragraph (1), it is the policy of the United States that regional electric grid planning to meet these objectives should result from an open, inclusive and transparent process, taking into account all significant demand - side and supply - side options, including energy efficiency, distributed generation, renewable energy and zero - carbon electricity generation technologies, smart - grid technologies and practices, demand response, electricity storage, voltage regulation technologies, high capacity conductors with at least 25 percent greater efficiency than traditional ACSR (aluminum stranded conductors steel reinforced) conductors, superconductor technologies, underground transmission technologies, and new conventional electric transmission capacity and corridors.

The resulting electrical current travels via underground cables to a substation, where it is converted to a higher voltage for the larger electricity transmission or distribution grid.

In comments we recently submitted, NRDC, other environmental groups, consumer advocates, customers, and electricity generation and supply companies detailed numerous errors in the ISO's assumptions, including its assumptions about future growth in gas and electricity demand, energy efficiency, and renewable energy, which skew the study results toward a grid that appears more susceptible to fuel security risks.

As a result of its comprehensive study of the electricity grid, the Energy Department proposed a «Grid Reliability and Resilience Pricing Rule» that has been a wakeup call to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and helped draw more attention to the potential consequences of shutting down fuel - secure electricity sources, like coal.
