POWER ON Act of 2026 Preventing Outages With Enhanced Resilience...
A bill to reauthorize a program for preventing outages and enhancing the resilience of the electric grid, and for other purposes.
This bill, SB4827, proposes to renew a program aimed at preventing power outages and improving the electric grid's resilience. This means making the grid stronger and more able to handle disruptions, ensuring that our electricity stays on during emergencies or extreme weather.
The bill would mainly affect utility companies, electricity providers, and consumers by potentially reducing the frequency and impact of power outages. It could also lead to better energy security and reliability for everyone who relies on electricity for daily activities.
As of June 18, 2026, SB4827 has just been introduced and read twice in the Senate. It has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, which will review it and possibly hold hearings before deciding on the next steps. No further actions have been taken yet.
