The State Planning for Reliability and Affordability Act aims to amend the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to ensure states consider reliable electric generation. It mandates state-regulated utilities to plan for reliable energy availability over a 10-year period, with specific criteria for what constitutes a reliable generation facility.

The Quiet Ledger grades legislation on its content. A bill grade is analysis of the bill — not a grade of its sponsor or of any member who voted on it.
