The Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) leads the Department's efforts to strengthen the security and resilience of the U.S. energy infrastructure against all threats and hazards.
CESER leads the Department of Energy's statutory role as the Sector Risk Management Agency for the energy sector. Energy is essential. It keeps us connected, powers and fuels our homes and businesses, keeps our hospitals running, enables national defense, and helps us move the goods and services that keep our economy strong.
CESER proactively address threats to American energy security, in all forms, through policy, innovation, research, collaboration, and industry engagement. Cyber threats targeting energy systems continue to increase and evolve; foreign adversaries, nation states, and criminal actors pose a serious threat to U.S. critical energy infrastructure.
CESER mitigates cyber risks to the energy sector through threat-informed research and development, the deployment of innovative tools and technologies, policy, and strategic partnerships that facilitate information sharing to bolster the cybersecurity and resilience of critical energy infrastructure.
National Cybersecurity Strategy Cyber-Informed Engineering Physical threats to energy infrastructure are unique because they take a wide variety of forms. They can be accidental or purposeful incidents, and have a variety of motives. CESER works closely with partners in the intelligence and law enforcement communities, and with industry, to mitigate risks posed by physical attacks on energy infrastructure.
Electromagnetic Pulse Activities Natural hazards and extreme weather are impacting communities and destroying critical infrastructure more frequently and with greater intensity. CESER works to mitigate the risks posed to the energy sector by events such as wildfires and hurricanes, as well as from space weather such as solar flares and other geomagnetic disturbances.
Geomagnetic Disturbance Activities When an energy emergency occurs due to a cyber, physical, or natural hazard-related incident, CESER is on point for deploying appropriate staff and resources to restore power or the flow of fuel quickly and safely. CESER is responsible for the implementation of several provisions within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) related to energy security.
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) authority under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act permits the Secretary of Energy to issue emergency orders for electricity generation and transmission during critical situations like war or energy shortages. The DOE exercises this power to ensure grid reliability.

Executive Order 14421, signed August 26 and published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2026, prohibits acquisition or installation of covered foreign-produced bulk-power equipment — and applies notwithstanding any contract signed beforehand. DOE implementing rules are due by December 24. Here is what it means if federal grant or loan dollars are paying for the hardware.
Read articleOn August 24, 2026, DOE and SBA signed a memorandum of agreement creating the Small Business Investment Company-Energy Initiative, pointing a $58 billion SBA-leveraged investment program at DOE's technology priorities. No application, no NOFO, no deadline. Here is how SBIC capital actually works, why a January 2026 rule change made this possible, and what a company sitting on a DOE Phase II award should do about it.
