Power Play: New Executive Order Targets Electrical Grid Equipment
On August 26, 2026, President Trump issued EO 14420, prohibiting the acquisition, importation, transfer, or installation of foreign-produced bulk-power system electric equipment that meet certain criteria. The prohibitions are in response to the national emergency declared by President Trump pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act (NEA) and based on foreign actors’ potential exploitation of vulnerabilities in U.S. energy infrastructure to harm U.S. national security, including through digital backdoors built into foreign-manufactured equipment that allow remote access and potential sabotage. According to the Order, this threat to national security has become even more acute given the rapid growth of advanced manufacturing, data centers, artificial intelligence, and defense production, which together have exponentially increased U.S. dependence on reliable electricity.
