GRID Power Act

This bill directs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rework the grid interconnection queue to move certain power projects to the front of the line. Within 90 days of enactment, the Commission must start a rulemaking to address inefficiencies in processing interconnection requests and to amend the standard Large Generator Interconnection Procedures so transmission providers can propose reordering their queues to give higher positions to new dispatchable power projects that improve grid reliability and resource adequacy. Dispatchable power is defined as generation capable of providing known and forecastable supply in the intervals needed for grid reliability. A transmission provider's prioritization proposal must demonstrate the need for it, describe how it improves reliability or resilience, allow public comment and stakeholder engagement beforehand, and include regular reporting to the Commission. The Commission must approve or deny a submitted proposal within 60 days. It must finalize the rules within 180 days of enactment, and review and if necessary update them at least once every five years.

At least 40 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 189 quarterly reports filed by 6 lobbying firms and by 35 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

8 of those filings did not cite this bill by number. They named a short title it shares with its Senate companion, S 465, so the reference belongs to the pair rather than to one chamber’s vehicle.

The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

5 of them, in no ranking: Data Center Coalition; Corporate Energy Buyers Association (Fka Clean Energy Buyers Association); Ohio Chamber of Commerce; American Public Power Association; Constellation Energy Generation, LLC. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 35 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.

From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
