Bill > HR9083

This bill, the Securing Community Upgrades for a Resilient Grid Act (SECURE Grid Act), amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to require states to include supporting the physical security, cybersecurity, and resilience of local distribution systems in their state energy security plans. It defines "local distribution system" as any energy infrastructure owned and operated by an electric utility at a voltage of 35 kilovolts or less. The bill also requires state energy security plans to identify potential hazards to local distribution systems, including weather-related threats, human error, physical security attacks, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and provide methods for responding to and mitigating these hazards, such as through public-private partnerships and the adoption of secure, innovative energy technologies.
