Brett Guthrie will strengthen the electric grid and advance electricity transmission infrastructure to deliver reliable and affordable power.

“Strengthening our grid and winning the race for AI dominance requires the right power at the right time... it’s critical we have the infrastructure necessary to deliver electricity from power generators to those who need it... This hearing will provide the opportunity to examine ways we can meet growing demand, address the federal hurdles that too often slow down needed development, and deliver reliable and affordable energy.”

Guthrie said the hearing will examine ways to strengthen the grid, address federal hurdles, and deliver reliable and affordable energy through transmission infrastructure.

Guthrie joined a June 4 letter asking federal officials to investigate alleged foreign efforts to block American data-center buildout. The statement says the committee is working to address infrastructure needed to power AI and cites the electricity that data-center infrastructure helps keep flowing to homes and businesses.

Concrete recent action on electricity-related infrastructure, but it targets data-center buildout and power needs rather than a direct grid or transmission package.

The committee announced a June 9 legislative hearing on nuclear energy licensing reform. Guthrie and Latta said nuclear power provides safe, reliable, and affordable power and that the hearing would discuss steps to make licensing more efficient and predictable while supporting advanced reactors.

Recent official committee action pushes additional reliable power supply and lower-cost energy policy, but it does not yet show a specific transmission or grid-strengthening enactment.

At the June 9 hearing, the subcommittee said the U.S. needs firm, reliable energy and discussed reforms to improve nuclear licensing, reduce permitting friction, and build out critical fuel infrastructure.

Shows continued energy-policy activity aimed at reliability and supply expansion, but still no direct evidence of a delivered grid/transmission initiative in the lookback window.

Guthrie and Energy Subcommittee Chair Bob Latta announced a hearing titled "Wires, Rates, and States: Permitting Transmission for Reliable and Affordable Power." They said strengthening the grid requires infrastructure to deliver electricity from generators to users and that the hearing would examine federal hurdles slowing needed development.

Direct same-term committee action on electricity transmission and reliable, affordable power, but it is a hearing announcement rather than an enacted grid/transmission result.

Guthrie celebrated House passage of H.R. 7257, H.R. 7258, H.R. 7266, and H.R. 7305. The committee said the bills would harden the electric grid, strengthen state energy security planning, establish DOE emergency leadership, reauthorize cybersecurity grants for rural and municipal utilities, and improve threat information sharing.

Strong evidence of House-passed grid security legislation under Guthrie's chairmanship, but not proof of enactment or completed transmission infrastructure delivery.
