DOE launches $100 million cybersecurity assistance initiative for rural, municipal and small electric utilities
The U.S. Department of Energy announced a $100 million funding program to support cybersecurity improvements at rural, municipal, and small electric utilities through not-for-profit intermediaries. Eligible organizations must partner with at least six utilities and deliver technical assistance including assessments, workforce training, tool implementation, and threat intelligence sharing. The initiative addresses resource constraints facing smaller utility operators in accessing cybersecurity expertise and tools.
Why it matters: Operators of small and rural electric utilities need to apply for or partner with funded intermediaries to access federal grants for cybersecurity improvements; larger utilities and contractors should track this program as a potential avenue for engagement and partnerships with underserved grid operators.
