Plain-English Summary

The bill would extend and strengthen a federal program designed to prevent power outages and make the electrical grid more reliable and resistant to damage from weather, accidents, or other disruptions. This affects electricity customers across the country, utility companies that operate the grid, and communities that depend on stable power for hospitals, schools, and businesses. The legislation would likely fund improvements to electrical infrastructure and support efforts to modernize the aging power system.
