Preventing Power Outages Act amends the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to enhance electric grid resilience.
The Preventing Power Outages Act amends the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to enhance the resilience of the electric grid. It modifies the program for preventing outages by adjusting the criteria for grant eligibility. The bill specifies that all outages greater than 5 minutes, including those on Major Event Days, should be included in the calculation of reliability indices. It also mandates that states and Indian tribes prioritize entities with lower reliability scores when making grants. The act extends the program's availability through 2031.
