Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a dedicated fund to help the Southwestern Power Administration, a federal agency that sells hydroelectric power to utilities and customers across the Southwest, manage its finances and operations more independently. The fund would allow the agency to set aside revenue from power sales to cover its costs and investments in maintaining dams and power lines rather than relying on annual budget requests to Congress. This primarily affects utility companies, rural electric cooperatives, and the millions of households and businesses in the Southwest that depend on this federally-managed power supply.
