US Deputy Energy Department Secretary Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall has announced new funding to strengthen and protect the nation’s electric grid from cyber and physical attacks.
The Energy Department will provide up to $15 million, subject to congressional appropriations, to support efforts by the American Public Power Association and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association to further enhance the culture of security within their utility members’ organizations.
“As our definition of energy security and the cyber threat landscape evolve, we continue to help our partners strengthen the ways in which they protect critical infrastructure,” said Sherwood-Randall.
