## Summary

**Requires regular federal assessments and congressional reports on the electricity generation and transmission supply chain.** This bill would direct the Secretary of Energy to consult relevant stakeholders and produce periodic assessments and reports that identify trends, risks, vulnerabilities, workforce challenges, domestic manufacturing and critical‑material gaps, reliance on foreign entities of concern, and recommendations to secure and expand the supply chain. - Manufacturers and critical‑material processors would see federal analysis of barriers to expanding U.S. production and processing capacity and receive recommendations to address those barriers. - Electric utilities, grid component makers, and other supply‑chain stakeholders would have trends, risks, and availability of components tracked to highlight vulnerabilities in generation and transmission. - Congressional energy committees would get reports within 1 year and periodically after that with national security and energy security considerations and suggested policy responses. - Workforce planners and training programs would receive information on workforce challenges affecting construction, manufacturing, and deployment of generation and transmission components.
