The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a concurrent resolution urging key stakeholders, including the Governor and Congress, to prioritize investments in the security, reliability, and resiliency of the state's and nation's 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 actions have been taken to implement these recommendations thus far.

The resolution calls for increased resources to enhance grid diversification and site security, suggesting that Ohio consider adopting legislation similar to New Jersey's "Microgrid Pilot Program Act" to address these concerns. It emphasizes the importance of taking proactive measures to protect the electric grid and ensures that copies of the resolution are transmitted to relevant officials and utility companies to promote awareness and action on this critical issue.
