Stalled
No legislative action in over 90 days.
Legislative Progress
267–159
Key Points
- The Energy Department would regularly study the parts and materials needed to make and move electricity, like transformers, power lines, and control gear.
- Reports to Congress would flag shortages, delays, and weak spots, including heavy reliance on parts from countries that may pose risks.
- The plan looks at ways to make more of these parts in the United States and to process key minerals here, and it calls out rules that scare off investment.
- It also reviews workforce gaps and cybersecurity know-how needed to build and protect the grid.
- This does not spend money or build new factories by itself; it gives lawmakers a roadmap to fix problems and improve reliability.
