The Edison Electric Institute, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, and the American Public Power Association are calling on congressional leaders to pass the bipartisan Fix Our Forests Act and get it enacted by the president before the 119th Congress concludes on Jan. 3, 2027. The measure, S. 1462 / H.R. 471, would establish requirements for managing forests on federal lands, including requirements concerning reducing wildfire threats, expediting the review of certain forest management projects, and implementing forest management projects and other activities. “Electric utilities across America are investing billions of dollars in wildfire mitigation programs, grid hardening, vegetation management, and advanced monitoring technologies to better protect the communities they serve,” the organizations wrote in an Oct. 13 letter sent to U.S. House and Senate leaders.
