Energy: other; cyber-physical security and operational technology protections for battery energy storage systems; provide for. Amends 2008 PA 295 (MCL 460.1001 - 460.1232) by adding sec. 112.

This bill requires operators of battery energy storage facilities in Michigan to implement specific cybersecurity and physical safety measures to protect critical infrastructure. It mandates the creation of risk-based security programs aligned with national standards, along with essential safety features like automatic shutdowns, redundant cooling, and network segmentation. Additionally, operators must develop incident response and disaster recovery plans that outline roles, communication procedures, and coordination with emergency services. Facilities with a storage capacity greater than one megawatt are directly affected by these new requirements, which include a daily civil fine of up to $25,000 for violations. The legislation takes effect 90 days after it is enacted into law.
