FRPresidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Development, Manufacturing, and Deployment of Large-Scale Energy and Energy‑Related Infrastructure
President Donald Trump issued this determination to invoke the Defense Production Act in support of large-scale energy and energy-related infrastructure. The memo says the United States needs stronger domestic capacity to develop, manufacture, and deploy major energy projects, including engineering, site preparation, permitting, manufacturing capacity, and related infrastructure, and declares these resources essential to national defense. It states that private industry alone cannot deliver this fast enough because of financing risks, regulatory delays, and market barriers. The order authorizes the Secretary of Energy to use tools under Section 303 of the Defense Production Act — including purchases, commitments, and financial support — and waives certain statutory requirements on the grounds of the national energy emergency Trump previously declared.

FRPresidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Grid Infrastructure, Equipment, and Supply Chain Capacity
President Donald Trump issued this determination to treat key electric grid equipment and the supply chains behind it as essential to national defense under Section 303 of the Defense Production Act. The memo says the United States lacks enough domestic capacity to quickly produce items like transformers, transmission components, substations, circuit breakers, electrical steel, and related manufacturing tools, leaving the country too dependent on foreign sources and vulnerable during emergencies. It authorizes the Secretary of Energy to use Defense Production Act powers to make purchases, commitments, and provide financial support to expand U.S. production and deployment of this grid infrastructure. Trump says the action was issued because an aging, constrained grid and weak supply chains threaten defense readiness and fit within the national energy emergency he declared on January 20, 2025.

The exemption aims to preserve domestic smelting capabilities, which are considered essential for national security and reducing reliance on foreign supply chains. The exemption allows affected smelters to continue operating under existing standards while maintaining access to critical minerals.
