WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Energy (DOE) announced an $8 million investment in innovative approaches to enhance the reliability and resilience of the nation's energy infrastructure.

The partnership opportunity should boost the development of next generation tools and technologies that are not available today and that will become widely adopted throughout the energy sector to enhance cybersecurity of the U.S. energy system including electricity generation, transmission, and distribution.

Projects are intended to advance the resilience of the energy infrastructure by enhancing the ability to survive a cyber-attack while sustaining critical energy delivery functions.

This funding opportunity supports the Administration's directive to secure critical infrastructure as outlined in the National Cyber Strategy.
