GRID Act of 2024

This bill amends the Federal Power Act to enhance security for defense-related energy infrastructure. It updates definitions to apply uniformly across all states (replacing outdated references to "48 contiguous States") and adopts a standard definition of "resilience" from existing energy law. The key provision (new subsection (g)) authorizes the Secretary of Energy to fund contracts with energy providers to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities at designated defense facilities. It directly affects military installations reliant on electricity and energy companies potentially awarded these contracts. The bill creates a new federal program to strengthen the energy supply chain for national defense.
