The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a resolution urging key stakeholders, including the Governor and Congress, to prioritize 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.

The resolution calls for increased investment in grid diversification and site security, suggesting that Ohio consider adopting legislation similar to New Jersey's "Microgrid Pilot Program Act" to enhance the state's electric grid. It emphasizes the need for proactive measures to address the threats facing the electrical grid and aims to ensure its reliability and resilience for the future. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to various officials and stakeholders, including utility companies, to promote awareness and action on this critical issue.
