Strengthening Local Power Grids: Security and Resilience Against Outages.
This law mandates that states must include the protection of local power distribution systems against physical attacks, cyber threats, and failures in their energy security plans. The goal is to ensure citizens receive a more stable electricity supply, reduce the risk of prolonged power outages, and enable faster response to threats like extreme weather. In practice, this means investments in modern technologies to secure the power delivered directly to homes.
Key points
Increased protection against power outages: States must plan how to secure local power lines (below 35 kV) against attacks and failures.
Mandatory cybersecurity focus: State plans must identify and mitigate cyber and physical threats to local energy infrastructure.
Supporting innovation: The adoption of secure, innovative energy technologies will be promoted to enhance grid resilience.
