The bill directs FERC to factor quantum risks into grid reliability oversight, establishes a DOE CESER testing environment for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) adoption, and mandates a study of quantum vulnerabilities in IT and operational technology across the bulk electric power system. Industry groups including QED-C, Cyber Threat Alliance, Quantum Industry Coalition, American Binary, and IonQ voiced support, emphasizing that migrating deployed grid equipment to PQC is the harder practical challenge compared to the cryptography itself. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
