State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Program 2022 and 2023 Years in Review

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recognizes that energy security planning and preparedness at the local and state level is one of the most crucial pathways to strengthen security and resilience in U.S. energy systems against all hazards, including natural disasters, cyber attacks, and physical threats. 

DOE’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response’s (CESER) State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) Program supports state energy security and resilience planning, advances emergency preparedness, and helps strengthen coordination. CESER spearheads the development and implementation of tools that help states mitigate risk and prepare for all hazards that could lead to disruptions in our energy systems. The program works with multiple stakeholders to develop resources specific to SLTT needs — including governors and their advisors, state energy office directors, public utility commissioners, state legislators, emergency managers, municipal utilities, and tribal leaders.

The 2022-2023 SLTT Years in Review (YIR) provides an overview of major milestones, important publications, events, and successes of DOE’s SLTT stakeholders throughout 2022 and 2023 to enhance the security of energy infrastructure across the nation. CESER will continue to work with SLTT partners to address the most compelling energy, climate, and cybersecurity challenges facing the sector.
