What H.R. 3638 does
H.R. 3638, the Electric Supply Chain Act, would require the Department of Energy to periodically assess the supply chain behind generating and transmitting electricity and report to the appropriate congressional committees. The reports would cover trends and vulnerabilities in the supply of components, barriers to expanding U.S. capacity to process critical materials, domestic policies that deter investment, emerging issues, and recommendations to secure and expand the supply chain. The first report would be due within one year of enactment.
