Unlikely to pass

This bill has support from both parties, but many proposals that only ask for a study never get a final vote in the full House or Senate.

Key Points

This bill requires the Department of Energy to study how artificial intelligence and supercomputers can be used to make the national power grid more reliable and efficient.
The study will look at whether these technologies can help connect new power sources to the grid faster, which is a common delay for new energy projects.
Government experts will also check for cybersecurity risks and outdated rules that might be preventing power companies from using these advanced tools.
A final report with recommendations on how to modernize the grid using these technologies must be sent to Congress within one year.
