Reinforcing the Grid Against Extreme Weather Act of 2025

The Reinforcing the Grid Against Extreme Weather Act of 2025 requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to establish rules for improving electricity transfer between adjacent grid regions to maintain reliability during extreme weather, physical events, or cyberattacks. Transmission planning entities (the organizations responsible for grid planning in specific regions) must submit and update plans every five years to meet minimum transfer capability standards, which FERC will review for approval. The rules also mandate annual FERC reports on implementation progress and include security measures to prevent disclosure of cyberattack information that could compromise grid safety. This bill directly affects grid operators and FERC, aiming to strengthen the national electricity infrastructure through better planning and coordination.
