H.R. 6633

High-Capacity Grid Act

Energy and Commerce Committee · Rep. Julie Fedorchak (R-ND)

15 September 2026 | Passed House with amendment (voice vote)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would require electric utilities to use the most advanced transmission conductors available for certain interstate power lines and directs federal regulators to presume that using these high-capacity conductors is cost-effective and prudent, allowing utilities to recover those costs from consumers. It defines "best-available" conductors as those that maximize energy capacity and efficiency while minimizing power line sagging, and applies to new power line projects as well as upgrades and replacements of existing lines.
