Bill > S5590

This bill, titled the Electric Grid Supply Chain Security Act, requires the Secretary of Defense—working alongside military leaders and the Secretary of Energy—to submit a comprehensive plan within 180 days to Congress for identifying, prioritizing, and fixing security vulnerabilities in the United States electric grid caused by network-connected equipment and automated computing facilities that are owned or controlled by hostile foreign nations. The required plan must assess risks to national security, military bases, and the bulk-power system (the large-scale generation and transmission network that delivers electricity across the country); establish a risk-based priority system for taking action; and outline a strategy to remove or replace dangerous foreign technology while minimizing disruptions to power supplies and incorporating secure, trusted alternatives. Additionally, the measure directs the Commander of the United States Northern Command to submit annual budget requests starting in fiscal year 2028 to fund the execution of this security remediation plan.
