What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "REDUCE Act," aims to change how organized wholesale electric markets function. It requires Transmission Organizations to allow aggregators of certain retail customers to submit bids. These aggregators would combine the demand flexibility of customers from utilities that distributed over 4 million megawatt-hours in the previous fiscal year. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is tasked with creating a final rule regarding this requirement within 12 months of the act's enactment.
