two key pieces of legislation led by Congressman Troy Balderson ... to strengthen America’s electric grid reliability
Strengthening our grid and winning the race for AI dominance requires the right power at the right time.
As we continue to unleash American energy, it's critical we have the infrastructure necessary to deliver electricity from power generators to those who need it.
This hearing will provide the opportunity to examine ways we can meet growing demand, address the federal hurdles that too often slow down needed development, and deliver reliable and affordable energy.
restore our nation's energy dominance
Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12) today introduced a bill to unleash American energy dominance, ensure U.S. energy independence, and support an all-of-the-above approach that guarantees affordable, reliable energy based on evidence and science rather than far-left "green new deal" political ideologies.

Balderson said the bill would make "those reversals legally binding" and described it as a way to "reign in regulatory practices that have imperiled baseload power". The release also says the legislation would require federal agencies to review actions relating to affordable, reliable, or clean energy and that it was introduced in response to Biden-era energy policy and increased outage risk.

EPA's MATS rule page states that on February 24, 2026, EPA finalized repeal of certain 2024 amendments to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards for coal- and oil-fired electric utility generating units; the rule history lists that final repeal and the 2024 final rule it reversed.
Assessments
A Biden-era power-plant policy was partly rolled back in the same congressional term through EPA repeal of certain 2024 MATS amendments, and Balderson made serious same-term efforts to advance the broader agenda, including sponsoring the Reliable Power Act and supporting House-passed grid-reliability measures. But the central Balderson-sponsored rollback/reliability legislation had not become law, and the completed EPA repeal is not shown as materially caused by Balderson. This supports partial delivery rather than full delivery.
Balderson made repeated, concrete efforts to reverse or block Biden-era energy rules, including sponsoring H.J.Res.163 and H.R.3616 and voting for House-passed reliability bills, but the evidence shows no enactment or completed reversal of the policies. This fits a serious legislative attempt that fell short of delivering the promised outcome.
Balderson made serious same-term efforts to reverse Biden-era energy policies tied to power reliability, including sponsoring H.R. 3616, backing H.R. 1047, and introducing a Congressional Review Act resolution against EPA power-plant rules. However, the key measures had not become law or otherwise produced a completed federal policy reversal in the evidence provided. House passage and bill sponsorship show material effort, but not fulfillment of the promised outcome.
Balderson made serious same-term legislative efforts to reverse Biden-era energy and EPA policies tied to grid reliability, including sponsoring H.R. 3616 and H.J.Res.163 and voting for related House-passed reliability bills. However, the evidence shows these measures were not enacted into law, so the promised outcome of actually unraveling the policies was not delivered.
