HR 7257Jun 29, 2026Passed Chamber

What a yes vote endorsed

SECURE Grid Act

What this does

The bill expands what State energy security plans must cover under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. It requires those plans to address the physical security, cybersecurity, and resilience of local distribution systems, which it defines as utility energy infrastructure operating at 100 kilovolts or less. The required hazards now include physical attacks on local distribution and bulk-power systems, supply chain risks for electricity equipment, and cyber threats that may reach the bulk-power system. It changes a provision on Federal assistance for these plans in subsection (f) from "may" to "shall". Section 366 is set to expire on September 30, 2031, and the bill directs the Comptroller General to report to Congress by September 30, 2030 on how well State energy security plans work.

Reported lobbying

At least

15

organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing.

A floor, not a total. Those organizations were counted by the client name on 37 quarterly reports filed by 16 registered lobbying firms in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, so an organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

8 of those filings did not cite this bill by number. They named a short title it shares with its Senate companion, S 4166, so the reference belongs to the pair rather than to one chamber’s vehicle.

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

Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 10 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: the extract keeps five names per measure and no ranking is available.

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 and 2026 Q2. The pull came up 2 short in 2025 Q4 and 7 short in 2026 Q2 against the register's own count, so those quarters are the filings posted rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
