4 Part Policy Plan of Grid Security Supporters.

 Protect Our Power, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to strengthen the reliability and resilience of the U.S. electric grid, supports a 4 part policy plan to strengthen grid security that includes:

• Independent, thorough and candid assessment of exactly where improvements and upgrades are needed, in order of priority
• Development of a collective national plan based on the independent assessment and codified by Congress, with oversight from the federal regulatory agencies
• Regulatory reform, including the “development of improved, uniform standards for the North American bulk power system that rise to the level of detail and rigor required to meet the threats we face” ; 
• Public and private funding mechanisms like  tax-exempt government bonds
