NASEO, NRECA Develop Energy Emergency Response Coordination framework for State Energy Offices and Rural Electric Cooperatives

Source: NASEO

NASEO produced this Coordination Brief following Fractured Freeze, the first energy emergency exercise to focus on energy emergency response and preparedness coordination between State Energy Offices and rural electric cooperative statewide storm response coordinators (Statewides).

The Coordination Brief provides an overview of Electric Cooperative “Statewide” organization, highlights the potential benefits of State Energy Office-Cooperative coordination during the emergency response, and identifies areas for State Energy Offices to engage their cooperative counterparts.

Fractured Freeze was held on February 23-24, 2022, by the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), with support from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (DOE CESER).
