# DOE Sets Energy Security Priorities

The Department of Energy’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security and Emergency Response (CESER) released a five-year strategic plan in March focused on improving resilience across electricity, oil and gas infrastructure. The article does not detail the plan’s three goals or identify solicitations, contract values, or specific procurement requirements, so it signals potential future priorities rather than a current contracting opportunity.

- Energy-sector contractors can assess how their cybersecurity, infrastructure-security, and emergency-response capabilities align with CESER’s stated resilience focus.
- The plan may inform future federal priorities affecting electricity, oil and gas infrastructure, but the available information does not establish specific requirements or procurement timelines.
- No solicitation or contract is identified; companies should not treat the plan itself as an active bid opportunity.
