NewsWK — Federal lawmakers have introduced new legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives designed to update the nation’s electrical power infrastructure and bring down utility expenses for consumers and local businesses.
The measure, designated as H.R. 9945 and titled the Lowering Energy Costs through Grid Modernization Act, was formally introduced and published through official legislative channels.
