States would plan for threats to local power systems and supplies

State energy security plans must address hazards to local electricity distribution systems and risks to equipment supply chains. A local distribution system is energy infrastructure owned and operated by an electric utility at 100 kilovolts or less. The plans must also cover cybersecurity risks to local systems that may affect the bulk-power system. The section containing these plan provisions expires September 30, 2031.

The Comptroller General must report to Congress on State energy security plans. The report goes to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The report must be public, but information protected from disclosure must appear in a nonpublic annex. The report is due by September 30, 2030.
