Strengthening Power Grid: Protection Against Extreme Weather and Attacks

This act aims to enhance the security of electricity supply to your home. It requires power companies to better plan and build connections between regions, allowing electricity to be more easily transferred in case of outages caused by weather, physical attacks, or cyberattacks. This will reduce the risk of long-term power disruptions, leading to greater stability and reliability in daily life.
Key points
Increased energy security: Lower risk of power outages during storms, heatwaves, or cyberattacks.
Improved interregional connections: Electricity can be more easily transferred where needed, increasing grid reliability.
Mandatory planning: Power companies will be required to regularly submit plans for grid reinforcement, ensuring continuous improvements.
