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.
