Bill > SCR2

This resolution urges Ohio's state government and the U.S. Congress to take action to enhance the security and reliability of the electric grid, recognizing its critical importance to citizens' daily lives. The resolution highlights the vulnerability of the electrical infrastructure to both natural and human-made threats, noting that despite recommendations from the Government Accountability Office and proposed federal executive orders, no significant actions have been taken to address these risks. The document specifically calls for increased investment in grid diversification and site security, and suggests considering legislation similar to New Jersey's "Microgrid Pilot Program Act" to improve electric grid resilience. The resolution directs the Senate Clerk to distribute copies of this resolution to various governmental and utility entities, including the Governor, congressional leadership, state departments, and major energy corporations like Duke Energy, American Electric Power, AES Corporation, and First Energy Corporation. By passing this resolution, the 136th General Assembly of Ohio aims to draw attention to the critical need for proactive measures to protect and strengthen the electrical grid's infrastructure and reliability.
