Electric Supply Chain Act

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SELF. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of my amendment to H.R. 3638. The bill requires DOE to assess supply chain vulnerabilities for the generation and transmission of electricity, including barriers to expanding capacity here in the United States.

My amendment makes a simple clarification. It ensures that DOE evaluates barriers not only to manufacturing components, but also to their delivery and installation. In the real world, grid reliability depends on whether critical equipment can actually reach the job site and be installed on time.

If we want a serious assessment and serious recommendations, then we cannot stop at the factory gate.

Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of the amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. SELF. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
