The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has introduced a concurrent resolution urging key stakeholders, including the Governor and Congress, to prioritize investments in the security, reliability, and resiliency of both the state and national electric grids. Recognizing the electric grid as critical infrastructure that is essential for daily life, the resolution highlights its vulnerability to both natural and man-made threats. It references recommendations from the Government Accountability Office and federal Executive Orders regarding grid security, noting that no significant actions have been taken to implement these recommendations.

The resolution calls for the adoption of measures to enhance grid diversification and security, suggesting that Ohio consider legislation similar to New Jersey's "Microgrid Pilot Program Act." It emphasizes the need for proactive steps to address the threats to the electric grid and urges the Governor and Congress to take these concerns seriously. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be sent to various officials and representatives from major electric utility companies to ensure awareness and action on this critical issue.
