Plain-English Summary

The SHIELD Act would protect the nation's electrical grid from physical and cyberattacks by requiring power companies to strengthen security measures and report vulnerabilities to federal authorities. The legislation aims to prevent widespread blackouts and infrastructure damage that could affect millions of Americans who depend on reliable electricity. Power companies would need to meet new security standards and work with government agencies to identify and fix weaknesses in the grid system.
