Who has control over all the electrical grids? Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) imposes mandatory reliability standards on all generation and transmission owners that tie into power grid. FERC has authorized North American Electric Reliability Corporation to implement its standards.

North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) delegates its authority to 8 regional reliability councils (as of June 2018). These councils audit all participants (transmission owners, generation owners, and power grid operators) in their region to assure the standards are being followed. Does the White House control electrical grids, including internet servers, broadcasting systems and electronic systems? No Every state in USA has a commission that ensures the Owners are delivering safe and reliable electric power to its constituents. This oversight is in addition to the federal oversight. Did Donald Trump issue an executive order to take over all electrical grids, which will include internet servers, broadcasting systems and electronic systems? No The president did issue an executive order intended to secure the country's bulk-power system, but the order does not allow the White House to "take over" electrical grids.

The order seeks to protect the U.S.' electricity system from cyber and other attacks, Reuters reported.
