Stronger Power Grids: New Federal Aid for Electrical Resilience.

This new law aims to strengthen the US electrical grids, making them more resilient to natural disasters and other threats. It will make it easier for power companies to receive federal aid for repairs and infrastructure upgrades, which should lead to fewer and shorter power outages for citizens.
Key points
Electric utilities can now combine post-disaster restoration efforts with hazard prevention activities, using the same federal assistance.
Receiving emergency power restoration aid no longer disqualifies facilities from seeking additional long-term hazard mitigation assistance.
These changes apply only to federal funds appropriated on or after the law's enactment date, opening new funding opportunities for energy security projects.
