## Summary

**This bill would strengthen Taiwan's energy security by prioritizing U.S. energy exports and by hardening Taiwan's energy infrastructure against coercion and disruption.** It would set up a new part of the Taiwan Enhanced Resilience Act to coordinate exports, capacity building, technical assistance, and reporting while leaving U.S. One China policy unchanged. - Taiwan households and infrastructure would gain resilience through capacity building for grid cybersecurity, LNG terminals and storage, SCADA systems, physical security, redundancy planning, joint training, and workforce development. - U.S. energy exporters and the private sector would get diplomatic and technical support to expand LNG and storage projects. The bill would direct a National Academy of Sciences assessment within 1 year on boosting U.S. LNG exports to Taiwan and on redirecting supplies from the PRC, and it requires briefings within 180 days plus annual reports for 3 years on actions and barriers. - Maritime and logistics operators would gain access to a new insurance and reinsurance mechanism, allowing the Secretary of Transportation to insure vessels moving vital goods to Taiwan or partners against coercive maritime threats.

- More U.S. support for Taiwan energy: benefit, medium. If enacted, the State Department would work with Commerce and Energy to prioritize U.S. energy exports and projects for Taiwan.

- Maintains U.S. One China policy: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would say nothing in the Act changes the U.S. One China policy. It would reaffirm guidance from the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.–PRC communiques, and the Six Assurances. This is an interpretive statement and would not directly change household finances.
