House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Zeringue establishes the Louisiana Grid Efficiency Task Force, aimed at studying and recommending the deployment of Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs), High Performance Conductors (HPCs), and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) within Louisiana's electricity transmission system. The task force will address various aspects, including regulatory and market barriers, economic benefits, and reliability improvements associated with these technologies. Given Louisiana's historical leadership in energy production and the increasing demand for electricity, the resolution emphasizes the need for modernizing the state's grid to enhance reliability and support economic growth.

The task force will consist of members from various sectors, including state legislators, utility representatives, and experts in energy systems. It is tasked with meeting quarterly and developing a comprehensive plan of recommendations by February 1, 2026, which will be submitted to the governor and relevant legislative committees. The plan will focus on assessing the current electricity transmission system, reviewing nationwide projects, identifying regulatory barriers, and exploring workforce development opportunities to facilitate the adoption of these innovative technologies in Louisiana.
