Bill > S2094

This bill, the Enhancing State Energy Security Planning and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2019, authorizes the Department of Energy to provide financial assistance to states for the implementation, review, and revision of a state energy security plan. The plan must assess the state's existing energy infrastructure and circumstances and propose methods to secure the energy infrastructure against physical and cybersecurity threats, mitigate the risk of energy supply disruptions, and ensure a reliable, secure, and resilient energy infrastructure. The plan must address potential hazards, provide a risk assessment, and outline a risk mitigation approach. The state must coordinate with relevant public and private sector stakeholders in developing the plan, and the financial assistance is subject to certain requirements to supplement, rather than supplant, state and local funds.
