President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order declaring a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act to address foreign threats to the U.S. bulk-power system. The order prohibits certain foreign-produced bulk-power system electric equipment, including associated software and digital capabilities, from being purchased or installed in the U.S. due to cybersecurity and operational risks. It allows the Secretary of Energy to impose conditions on equipment use to mitigate risks while ensuring reliability and continuity of service. The directive excludes facilities used for local electric distribution and mandates the Secretary of Energy to publish implementing rules and identify risky equipment for further action. The measure aims to reduce supply chain vulnerabilities and protect critical infrastructure from foreign interference.
