Bill > HR7203

This bill, the Guaranteeing Resilient Installations for Defense Act of 2020 or the GRID Act of 2020, directs the Secretary of Energy, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense and the Secretaries of each military department, to carry out a two-year pilot program to implement mitigating actions to address vulnerabilities to defense critical electric infrastructure at critical defense facilities. The bill requires the selection of at least three military installations representing different military branches and electric infrastructure challenges, including critical defense facilities within the service territory of a Power Marketing Administration and those that use rural cooperatives or municipal entities for their electricity needs. The bill also expands the definition of "defense critical electric infrastructure" to include facilities in Hawaii, Alaska, and the territories, and grants the Secretary of Energy authority to identify, designate, and mitigate vulnerabilities at such facilities.
