Cybersecurity Research, Development, and Demonstration for Energy Systems | Department of Energy Cybersecurity Research, Development, and Demonstration for Energy Systems CESER is focused on reducing the risk of energy disruptions due to cyber events by bringing to bear the best ideas of the Federal government, the National Laboratories, private partners across the energy sector, academia, and state and local governments.
Through the research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) cycle, these game-changing projects aim to enhance the speed and effectiveness of threat and vulnerability information sharing, accelerate the mitigation of cyber incidents in today’s systems, and enhance resilience while reducing risk in a quantifiable manner.
Cybersecurity RD&D Strategy for the Energy Sector Address the industry’s most critical gaps and needs Pursue research that is not supported through private investment Eliminate “research vacuum” through extensive and early partnership Accelerate technology adoption by focusing on the commercial end use Innovate then demonstrate in real-world environments Foster leap-ahead technologies by teaming up with some of the nation’s best minds and resources Lay the groundwork for, and build on, what works Informed by National Priorities and Directives CESER’s RD&D program aligns with the National Cybersecurity Strategy , as well as DOE’s Multiyear Plan for Energy Sector Cybersecurity , which follows the sector’s vision of resilient energy delivery control systems designed, installed, operated, and maintained to withstand a cyber incident while sustaining critical functions.
CESER moves innovative research to industry-ready solutions using a strategic mix of RD&D that focuses on both shorter-term RD&D with a high probability of rapid market readiness and game-changing RD&D that supports next-generation cyber system designs.
These products are commercialized, released as guidance or open-source software, or adopted into ongoing research to develop new capabilities that help the energy sector achieve its vision of energy delivery systems that can prevent or withstand a cyberattack. CESER’s Risk Management Tools and Technologies (RMT) division leads the cybersecurity RD&D programs that make game-changing tools and technologies for the energy sector possible.

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.
Read articleThe Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
