Join members of Steptoe's International Trade, Energy, and Export Controls teams for a 30-minute on demand webinar on how the new Executive Order could impact suppliers and other companies whose products are used throughout the US bulk-power system.

Under the Executive Order, certain foreign-supplied equipment used in the US bulk-power system will be subject to US government review and potentially prohibited by the Secretary of Energy, in consultation with other US agencies.
