Plain-English Summary
This bill aims to reduce widespread power outages by strengthening the reliability and resilience of the nation's electrical grid, likely through measures such as upgrading infrastructure, improving coordination between power companies, or requiring better preparation for extreme weather and other emergencies. The changes would affect both utility companies that operate the grid and the millions of Americans who depend on consistent electricity for their homes and businesses.
