President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at protecting the security, integrity, and reliability of the U.S. bulk-power system's electrical equipment, particularly from foreign actor interference. The order, declared under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act, prohibits the purchase or installation in the U.S. of certain foreign-produced electrical equipment, including critical software and digital features that could pose cybersecurity or operational risks. The order also directs the Secretary of Energy to develop rules and identify equipment that may pose a risk.
