ENERGY: Directs the Louisiana Public Service Commission to explore technology, policy, and cost recovery mechanisms to harden the Louisiana electrical grid against electromagnetic threats

HR 265 is a non-binding resolution urging the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) to study ways to strengthen the state's electrical grid against electromagnetic threats, such as solar storms or man-made incidents. It does not mandate specific actions or funding but asks the LPSC to explore technology, policies, and cost recovery methods for grid hardening. The bill was passed unanimously (95-0) in the Louisiana legislature on June 10, 2025, after being amended to replace "direct" with "urge and request" to clarify its advisory nature. This resolution primarily affects the LPSC's future planning efforts, not grid operators or ratepayers directly. It focuses on policy exploration, not implementing new requirements or infrastructure changes.
