September 19, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. - RSC Chairman August Pfluger and RSC HEAT Chairman Troy Balderson released the following statement following the passage of H.R. 1047, the GRID Power Act. This legislation allows grid operators to accelerate projects that ensure grid reliability and meet growing energy demands by allowing these projects to bypass the years-long wait to get energy projects online.

“Ohio needs energy projects to connect to the electric grid quickly, cost-effectively, and reliably. Our constituents cannot afford any additional premature retirements of baseload energy,” said RSC HEAT Chairman Troy Balderson. “I am pleased my bill passed the House of Representatives today to strengthen the reliability of our country’s electric grid and provide grid operators the tools they need to meet rising energy demand and power America’s bright future.”

"RSC's House Energy Action Task Force Chair Troy Balderson is leading yet again on another critical issue for American energy dominance,” said RSC Chairman August Pfluger. "Rep. Balderson's unwavering commitment to advancing commonsense legislation is exactly the driving force our energy sector needs."
