| Federal Program Description |
This program will support State (and Territorial) Energy Office development of new, or refining existing, plans to integrate new energy portfolios and new applications, such as Smart Grid technology, into energy assurance and emergency preparedness plans. It will help build regional energy assurance capability to allow States to better coordinate and communicate state-wide and with one another, on energy security, reliability, and emergency response issues.
Objectives include:
- Create in-house expertise at the State level on energy assurance planning and resiliency, focusing on Smart Grid applications and vulnerabilities, critical infrastructure interdependencies, cyber security, energy supply systems, energy data analysis, and communications.
- Develop new, or refine existing, Energy Assurance Plans to incorporate response actions to new energy portfolios, including Smart Grid technologies.
- Revise appropriate State policies, procedures and practices to reflect the Energy Assurance Plans.
- States should append the Energy Assurance Plan to the State Energy Plan, as appropriate.
- Develop and initiate a process or mechanism for tracking the duration, response, restoration and recovery time of energy supply disruption events.
- Train appropriate personnel on energy infrastructure and supply systems and the content and execution of energy assurance plans.
- Conduct energy emergency exercises (intra and interstate) to evaluate the effectiveness of the energy assurance plans.
