Michigan HB5848 mandates cybersecurity and operational protections for battery energy storage systems to safeguard public health and system.

Michigan HB5848 amends the state's energy laws by adding a new section that requires operators of battery energy storage systems to implement specific security measures. These include protection against cyberattacks, physical attacks, and cyber disruptions to critical functions. Operators must also establish a risk-based cybersecurity and resilience program aligned with national frameworks, such as the NIST cybersecurity framework.
