Refocus OE/CESER on grid security; reinstate Bulk-Power EO 13920; end OE applied grants
Mandate elevates CESER, prioritizes cyber/physical resilience and gas–electric interdependence, reinstates Trump EO 13920 bulk-power equipment security, works with FERC/NERC on dispatchable generation adequacy, and eliminates OE applied storage/GETs grant programs.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 12 (Energy) — CESER/OE: reinstate iteration of EO 13920 Securing the United States Bulk-Power System; prioritize cybersecurity/physical security/resilience; focus gas–electric interdependence and Defense Critical Electric Infrastructure; work with FERC/NERC to ensure sufficient dispatchable on-demand generation when wind/solar unavailable; eliminate OE applied grant programs for storage/GETs and nonessential commercial deployment funding.
Undo plan
1) Maintain grid-enhancing tech and storage pilots that raise reliability per dollar.
2) Reinstate supply-chain security orders with ally sourcing paths—not abrupt bans.
3) Pair dispatchable capacity policy with demand response and transmission.
4) Keep CESER emergency response funding.
5) Verify: reserve margins, cyber incident response times, and outage severity.
