The Stronger Safer Bill
States must plan for stronger, safer power grids
Securing Community Upgrades for a Resilient Grid Act SECURE Grid Act
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, states would have to add plans to protect local power lines from attacks and outages, helping keep lights on for families.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill pushes states to think about grid security now, so future storms or hackers won’t knock out power. It could mean new upgrades funded by state budgets, which might raise utility fees later, but it aims to keep homes running.
