About Unleashing Electricity
America’s electric infrastructure is the backbone of our economy, security, and quality of life. New Executive Orders and Directives from the Trump Administration provide clear directions to protect the United States’s economic and national security and military preparedness by ensuring that an abundant supply of reliable energy is readily accessible in every State and territory of the Nation.
Unleashing American Electricity is dedicated to advancing projects that unlock the full potential of our power system—driving innovation, strengthening resilience, and delivering affordable, reliable power to local communities nationwide.
Accelerating Electric Sector Investment
Aligned with National Policy Priorities
In a recent Directive, Department of Energy Secretary Wright emphasized that "fortifying America’s electric grid is critical to the reliable and secure delivery of electricity." By prioritizing investment in electric infrastructure, we are supporting a stronger, more resilient energy system that meets the demands of the future while enhancing national security.
A Stronger, More Resilient Grid
Modernizing and expanding our electric infrastructure is more critical than ever. Strengthening our grid ensures resilience against extreme weather, cyberattacks, and other disruptions—keeping homes, businesses, and essential services powered when they’re needed most.
Supporting Rural Communities and Community-owned Utilities
Reliable electricity is essential for rural communities. Unlike investor-owned utilities and municipal utilities, which serve more densely populated areas and have easier access to funding, electric cooperatives often struggle to make investments in critical infrastructure.
Powering America’s Physical and Digital Economy
From advanced manufacturing to artificial intelligence, America’s economic future depends on a reliable and sustainable power supply. Investing in electric infrastructure supports key administration priorities, such as:
- Expanding and securing the energy supply for data centers
- Modernizing transmission systems
- Strengthening partnerships between public and private sectors to accelerate innovation
