A bipartisan pair of House lawmakers announced on Wednesday that they have relaunched the Grid Innovation Caucus for the 118th Congress, with a focus on modernizing grid technologies and safeguarding the U.S. power system from cyber, physical and environmental threats.
The caucus — co-chaired by Reps. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, and Marilyn Strickland, D-Wash. — will work to enhance the security and reliability of the nation’s electric grid by “increasing institutional understanding of grid complexities, identifying opportunities for productive and bipartisan engagement and highlighting the constructive role technological innovation can play in bolstering grid infrastructure,” according to a press release.
