Bottom line

The bill extends the authorization and funding for a federal program aimed at improving the reliability and resilience of the U.S. electric grid for an additional five years, through fiscal year 2031.

What it actually does

This bill reauthorizes Section 40101 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, extending the program designed to prevent electric grid outages and enhance resilience. It specifically changes the program's authorization and funding period from ending in 2026 to ending in 2031, providing an additional five years of federal support for grid improvements.

Section 2

Reauthorization of Electric Grid Resilience Program

prominently featuredstraightforward

This section amends the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to extend the authorization for a critical program focused on preventing electric grid outages and enhancing resilience. It changes the program's expiration date from fiscal year 2026 to fiscal year 2031 and similarly extends the period for which funds are authorized to be appropriated, from fiscal years 2022 through 2026 to fiscal years 2027 through 2031. This ensures the program can continue to receive federal funding and operate for an additional five years, supporting ongoing efforts to modernize and secure the nation's power infrastructure.
