What this bill would do
This Act, known as the ``Electric Supply Chain Act'', directs the Secretary of Energy to prepare periodic assessments regarding the electricity generation and transmission supply chain. These assessments are intended to monitor the supply chain and involve consultation with relevant stakeholders. The Secretary is tasked with identifying trends, risks, vulnerabilities, and emerging issues within the industry. Additionally, the assessments must include recommendations to secure and expand the supply chain. Finally, the Secretary must submit a report to appropriate congressional committees one year after enactment and periodically thereafter.
