“Protecting the grid is a top priority for the nation’s electric co-ops. We are making smart investments, training our workforce, and sharing threat intelligence to keep the lights on. With continued partnership and targeted federal investment, we can strengthen our defenses and ensure the security of the energy infrastructure that powers our nation.

The electric grid is too critical to our existence for it to fail. We must get it right. Each time. Every time. All the time,” said Kenergy President and CEO Tim Lindahl testifying before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on December 2, 2025 as part of the hearing titled: ‘Securing America’s Energy Infrastructure: Addressing Cyber and Physical Threats to the Grid.’

On behalf of the 900 electric cooperatives in our country, Tim advocated for safe, reliable, and affordable energy and the strengthening of our grid security.
