Senate Bill Looks to Boost Electric Grid Cybersecurity

Powerlines

The Senate Energy Committee recently passed the Protecting Resources On The Electric Grid with Cybersecurity Technology Act (the “PROTECT Act”). As a result of the PROTECT Act, electric utility companies will receive incentives from the federal government to boost their cybersecurity technology. Temple Law alum Alan M. Seltzer (LAW ’78) provides some context for the passage of the PROTECT Act.
