SECURE Grid Act

This bill amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to require states to include local distribution systems (electric infrastructure at 35 kilovolts or lower owned by utilities) in their energy security plans. It mandates states to identify specific hazards like weather threats, human error, physical attacks, and cybersecurity risks to these systems. States must also develop response methods, including public-private partnerships, new financing models, and secure energy technologies, to address identified vulnerabilities. The bill directly affects state energy planning processes and electric utilities operating local distribution systems.
