Partnerships with Spare Equipment federal, state, & Programs local governments Addressing Threats to the Energy Grid

The Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council focuses on improving the security and resiliency of the power grid by: . Planning and exercising coordinated responses to attacks or major disruptions to the grid . Making sure information about threats is communicated quickly among government and industry . Deploying government technologies on electric power company systems that improve situational awareness of threats to the grid . Cross-sector coordination with other critical infrastructure sectors ESCC Roster

January 2013, the EEI Board meets and directs EEI to develop a new national-level mutual assistance framework

September 2013, our “National Response Event” (NRE) Framework Approved by EEI Board

. A NRE is an event that: - Is expected to or has impacted two or more RMAGs; or - The resource requirements are greater than what the impacted RMAGs can provide; or - Requires response from more than two RMAGs; or - There are multiple events that create a resource constraint or competition between RMAGs. . When an NRE is activated, all available EEI member emergency restoration resources (including contractors) will be pooled and allocated to participating utilities in a safe, efficient, and equitable manner. Industry-Federal Government Crisis Management Coordination

The Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) serves as the principal liaison between the federal government and all segments of the electric power industry, with the mission of coordinating efforts on national-level threats to critical infrastructure. The ESCC is informed by industry operational, public affairs and •STEP information sharing entities and programs.
