Expressed concerns about or opposition to markets issues related to regional transmission organizations, including proposed energy imbalance market and existing mandatory capacity markets. Encouraged oversight of FERC more generally. Monitored issues related to electric vehicles, particularly regarding funding issues. Continued support of revised Senergy efficiency bill, S. 1392. Discussed potential legislation to ensure that federal agencies take electric reliability into consideration when developing regulations.Worked to ensure small utilities that are defined as small businesses under SBREFA get appropriate consideration under any pending and future EPA and FERC regulations. Supported H.R. 2542, which modified the Regulatory Flexibility Act and passed the House. Supported Senator Klobuchar bill related to preventing copper theft. Supported H.R. 1199 to delete Section 433 of EISA 2007, which mandates that all federal buildings use no fossil fuel by 2030. Also suppored other efforts to fix this issue. Support S. 2620, the Grid Reliability Act of 2014 (companion bill to H.R. 271.) While not a federal issue, discussed issues surrounding distributed generation (namely, rooftop solar) with DOE staff and with some offices on Capitol Hill. Discussed the Quadrennial Energy Review (and its focus on distribution, transmission and storage of energy) with DOE and the White House and submitted statements and other materials related to that process. Discussed the need for enhanced liability protection for electric utilities who are subject to a cybersecurity attack. Briefed Senators and House Members and staff on the physical security of the electric system, and opposed additional legislation resulting in greater regulation. Discussed the issue of the availability of spare transformers with DOE and others. Supported information sharing legislation such as CISPA, H.R. 3523, and the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014, S. 2588. Supported cybersecurity related bills S. 2519 and S. 1353. Reviewed and proposed modifications to legislation related to electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) and their impacts on the electric grid -- H.R. 3410.
