POWER ON Act of 2026

The POWER ON Act of 2026 extends the funding authorization for the Department of Energy's Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships program. Originally set to expire in 2026, the bill updates the timeline so that this funding will now run through 2031. This legislative change directly affects the Department of Energy and the private sector partners that receive grants to improve the reliability of the electric grid. By reauthorizing these specific provisions, the bill ensures continued financial support for projects aimed at strengthening the nation's power infrastructure without altering the program's existing scope or requirements.
