Strengthens how the government protects our energy system from threats.
This bill would make the Department of Energy better prepared for energy emergencies. It would clearly assign duties to officials to protect our power grids and fuel supplies. States, local communities, and energy companies could also ask for help to deal with threats.
Today, the Department of Energy Organization Act does not clearly define who handles energy emergencies and security. After this bill, specific Assistant Secretaries at the Department of Energy would have explicit duties for protecting energy infrastructure, responding to threats, and providing technical help to states and energy companies.
