Energy Security Committee

The Energy Security Committee is a forum for State Energy Offices to discuss, learn, and collaborate on energy emergency planning, preparedness, and response. The committee covers a wide variety of energy security issues, ranging from energy data and analysis to cybersecurity across all energy sectors to coordination with electric and natural gas utilities and the petroleum industry. The NASEO Energy Security Committee hosts two monthly calls: the Energy Security Committee meeting and the Energy Security Committee All-Hazards meeting. The former is only open to State Energy Offices, while the latter is open to a broader audience, including public utility commission staff, Governor’s Office staff, and State Emergency Management staff.
