Funds small electric utilities to boost their defenses against cyberattacks
This bill would set aside $250 million to help small and rural electric companies improve their defenses against cyberattacks. It would give them grants and technical help to protect the power grid, making sure electricity stays on for homes and businesses.
Today, the Rural and Municipal Utility Advanced Cybersecurity Grant and Technical Assistance Program exists. After this bill, the program would be reauthorized, and $250,000,000 would be made available to provide grants and technical assistance to eligible electric utilities from the government's budget years 2026 through 2030.
