Load Forecasting Enhancement Act
To require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to establish regional joint boards to study electric load forecasting, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9332, aims to enhance the way we predict electricity demand by having the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission create regional boards to study electric load forecasting. These boards will bring together experts from different areas to improve predictions about how much electricity will be needed.
The bill would primarily impact the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the experts they choose to include on these regional boards. By improving the accuracy of electric load forecasts, the bill could help utility companies and consumers better plan for energy needs and costs.
As of September 16, 2026, the bill has passed in the House and has been received by the Senate. It was introduced on June 18, 2026, and has moved through several stages including committee review and a vote to suspend the rules in the House. Key recent actions include a House vote to pass the bill on September 15, 2026, and its referral to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
