The GRID Act of 2024 authorizes the Secretary of Energy to enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with energy providers to strengthen the security and resilience of electric infrastructure that supports military and defense facilities. The legislation expands the definition of "defense critical electric infrastructure" to include all states, not just the contiguous 48 states and Washington D.C., and adds "resilience" as a key term in the law's framework. The bill aims to reduce the vulnerability of designated critical defense facilities to energy supply disruptions by improving both the security and resilience of the power systems that serve them. Implementation depends on Congress appropriating funds specifically for these purposes through future budget legislation, meaning there is no dedicated funding level or timeline specified in the bill itself. This bill essentially gives the federal government more tools and flexibility to work with private energy companies to protect military installations from power outages and energy-related threats.
