CESER developed resources that states can incorporate into their state energy security plans or use as references. These optional resources are intended to reduce the burden of updating plans. They range from boilerplate language (e.g. federal authorities) to instructional guidance (e.g. how to create a state energy profile).

Resource Description
State Energy Security Plan Guidance DOE State Energy Security Plan (SESP) guidance, example framework and language from Section 40108 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
