Electric Supply Chain Act

This bill directs the Secretary of Energy to prepare recurring assessments of the supply chain for generating and transmitting electricity and to report on them to Congress. The assessments must cover ways to strengthen and expand the supply chain, including deployment of advanced transmission technologies; trends, risks, and vulnerabilities in the supply and availability of components; national and energy security considerations, including efforts by a foreign entity of concern to exploit disruptions to undermine U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence; barriers to domestic manufacturing and to processing critical materials; the effects of U.S. reliance on any foreign entity of concern; workforce challenges, including vulnerabilities from employing any non-U.S. citizen at a U.S. generation or transmission facility; and opportunities to expand the workforce among veterans, transitioning servicemembers, and military spouses. Each assessment must identify emerging issues and recommend how to address them. The Secretary must submit a report on the most recent assessment to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee within one year of enactment and periodically after that. The bill creates no new program or funding; it defines terms such as critical material and foreign entity of concern by reference to existing law.

At least 19 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 95 quarterly reports filed by 2 lobbying firms and by 19 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

5 of them, in no ranking: Itc Holdings Corp; CMS Energy Corp; Edison Electric Institute; Ppl Corporation; Corporate Energy Buyers Association (Fka Clean Energy Buyers Association). Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 14 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.

From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
