# Plain Language Summary

This bill asks the Director of National Intelligence to create a plan for sharing information about how foreign countries and bad actors are trying to block American companies from winning energy projects overseas. The focus is specifically on energy generation and storage projects—like solar farms, wind turbines, battery facilities, and similar infrastructure that other countries are bidding on too.

Right now, when foreign governments or their allies use unfair tactics to squeeze out American competitors, that information might not flow smoothly between different U.S. intelligence agencies, the State Department, the Commerce Department, and other relevant offices. This bill wants to fix that by requiring a coordinated strategy so that when American energy companies are trying to win contracts abroad, they have better access to intelligence about what underhanded tactics their competitors might be using—things like bribery, corruption, espionage, or government favoritism.

The practical impact is that American energy companies competing internationally would theoretically get better warning about threats and unfair competition. If a foreign government is planning to steal technology or use corruption to win a contract, U.S. companies might learn about it faster through improved intelligence sharing. However, the bill doesn't actually give money or create new enforcement powers—it just requires the intelligence community to develop and present a strategy. What actually happens depends on whether Congress funds it and whether agencies follow through on the recommendations.

A bill to require the Director of National Intelligence to develop a strategy to improve the sharing of information and intelligence on foreign adversary tactics and illicit activities affecting the ability of United States persons to compete in foreign jurisdictions on projects relating to energy generation and storage, and for other purposes.
