Originally posted by Save the Grid
At the request of state lawmakers seeking to protect their state’s electric grid, and in conjunction with a unanimous and bipartisan Resolution adopted by the National Conference of State Legislators in summer 2025, the Center for Security Policy and its Secure the Grid Coalition developed the “S.A.V.E.

CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY (Tommy Waller, Douglas Ellsworth and Michael Mabee) - How utility silence opens door for GIC protection
Originally published by The National Interest
With no industry pushback, regulators have a clear path to incentivize the deployment of proven technologies that can mitigate billions in annual losses and strengthen grid resilience. In our previous article, “How to Prevent the Inevitable Collapse of the US Power Grid,” we warned of the very real risks to America’s electric grid from Ground-Induced Currents (GICs) and outlined a formal complaint we filed with the grid’s federal regulator—the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC )—urging protection against this very real threat. We also highlighted the roughly $10 billion in annual economic losses from GIC-induced harmonics from routine, low-level solar storms and the availability of a proven, low-cost GIC-blocking…Open
