Improve the security and reliability of the national electric grid against physical and cyber threats.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with GRID Power Act?
The effort to secure the electric grid is stalled with S. 465, which last saw committee hearings on April 14, 2026. The Senate must act to move this legislation forward, but the binding constraint is the need for 60 votes to overcome procedural hurdles. Historically, most bills that pass the House fail to receive a vote in the Senate, making the path for this proposal difficult.
