Why Is The Existing Grid “Intellectually Challenged”?

Limited communications ability• With customers—to share information on price and energy usage• With the supply system – to effectively manage increasingly decentralized 

power sources (e.g., wind, solar, distributed generation)

Limited “situational awareness”

• Outage monitoring—relies on customers calling

• Inability to remotely identify developing T&D problems

Limited system self‐healing capabilities

Why Do We Need A “Smarter” Grid?

It will offset new infrastructure investment needs, while increasing the productivity of existing infrastructure

It will support environmental policy objectives through demand response and the easier integration of renewable sources of energy

Component of  “all of the above” energy strategy—SOTU, 1/24/12

It will enable utilities to:

Empower customers to control and optimize their energy usage Rely on greater amounts of distributed generation, including wind, 

solar, etc. Use electricity as a fuel for vehicles Enhance the reliability and efficiency of the power grid Provide the framework and foundation for future economic growth

Electric Utilities are Leading the Way

Page 7: Cybersecurity Webinar 4 - CSG Knowledge Centerknowledgecenter.csg.org/.../cybersecurity_webinar_slides.pdf · 2020. 7. 22. · Senate Cybersecurity Act of 2012 ‐ S.2105 McCain disagreed,

The Changing Nature of the Grid

Deployment of smart technology, particularly distributed generation and energy storage, will have a profound impact on the structure, design and operation of the T&D system

Customers will progressively pursue alternative power supply options that have the potential to supplement and/or replace power from the traditional utility: DOD initiatives

Colleges and universities

Commercial applications

Individual residential customers

The electric utility industry is developing a strategy to deal with this and other potentially disruptive smart technologies

Industry Smart Grid FocusTo Date

Initial industry smart grid focus has been driven by Administration goals and mandated state policies

Stimulus Awards

White House SG Subcommittee Policy Framework development

NIST/Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP)

Federal agencies—DOE, FCC, FERC

Early smart meter adopter states such as California and Texas

Two key federal activities that will continue in 2012 are:

The NIST/SGIP process for the development of interoperability standards

Federal funding for this activity will expire in 2012. 

Some EEI member companies (in CA, TX, and MD) are actively engaging the Administration on the "Green Button" Initiative to provide standardized energy usage information to customers.

Cyber Security:  Federal and State Policy Overview

April 2012

Page 15: Cybersecurity Webinar 4 - CSG Knowledge Centerknowledgecenter.csg.org/.../cybersecurity_webinar_slides.pdf · 2020. 7. 22. · Senate Cybersecurity Act of 2012 ‐ S.2105 McCain disagreed,

Electric Utilities Support Cyber Legislation

Any legislation should embrace these principles:

Limit scope of any new emergency authority to imminent cyber threats against truly critical assets

Include all critical infrastructure sectors in a cyber security regime given their interdependence

Encourage more information sharing between government and industry stakeholders

Build on existing Federal Power Act process; we’re the only industry with mandatory and enforceable cyber standards

Page 16: Cybersecurity Webinar 4 - CSG Knowledge Centerknowledgecenter.csg.org/.../cybersecurity_webinar_slides.pdf · 2020. 7. 22. · Senate Cybersecurity Act of 2012 ‐ S.2105 McCain disagreed,

Cyber Legislation: House

The House this week is considering 4 bills to: Improve public‐private information sharing; 

Expand federal R&D on tech and human resources; and,

To strengthen protection for government networks.

Two bills that didn't make the cut for Cyber Week:  the utility‐specific GRID Act and a bill giving regulatory authority to DHS for protection of critical cyber infrastructure

Page 18: Cybersecurity Webinar 4 - CSG Knowledge Centerknowledgecenter.csg.org/.../cybersecurity_webinar_slides.pdf · 2020. 7. 22. · Senate Cybersecurity Act of 2012 ‐ S.2105 McCain disagreed,

Improves Coordination in government: Gives National Institute of Standards and Technology the authority to set security standards for federal computer systems and develop checklists for agencies to follow.

Improves Coordination outside of government: Creates a federal‐university‐private‐sector task force to coordinate research and development.

Improves R&D: Establishes Cybersecurity research and development grant programs.

Improves quality of cyber professionals: Creates scholarship programs at NSF that can be repaid with federal service.  Assessment of cybersecurity workforce needs across Govt.

This legislation enhances the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 by improving the framework for ensuring security over information technology systems that support the federal government. It establishes a mechanism for stronger oversight through a focus on automated and continuous monitoring of cybersecurity threats and the implementation of regular threat assessments.

H.R.4257 ‐ Federal Information Security Amendments Act of 2012

The House Intelligence Committee Bipartisan Legislation:

Private sector entities would be permitted to anonymize or restrict the information they provide to others, including the government.

Threat information shared with the government would be exempt from disclosure under FOIA, treated as proprietary information, and would be prohibited from use by the government in regulatory proceedings.

Cyber Legislation:  Senate

Meantime the Senate is in a stalemate over 2 bills, neither of which can overcome the 60‐vote threshold:   The Homeland Security Committee bill known as Lieberman‐

Collins, which would give regulatory power to DHS; and,

The GOP Alternative which essentially encompasses the 4 bills the House is considering during Cyber Week.

Senate Cybersecurity Act of 2012 ‐S.2105

McCain disagreed, stating that if the “legislation before us today were enacted into law, unelected bureaucrats at the DHS could promulgate prescriptive regulations on American businesses, which own roughly 90% of critical cyber infrastructure," he said. "The regulations that would be created under this new authority would stymie job‐creation, blur the definition of private property rights and divert resources from actual cybersecurity to compliance with government mandates."

Senate Cybersecurity Exercise 

The Senate Cybersecurity Exercise lays out a hypothetical scenario of a cyber attack against the electric power grid of the United States. The attack focuses on the New York City area during a heat wave in the middle of summer. It is perpetrated by an unknown adversary to cause as much damage and disruption to the power grid as possible. This adversary is able to take advantage of vulnerabilities that exist in critical infrastructure systems today in order to cause a several day power outage for 9 million Americans. The scenario also walks through the US governmental response to such a crisis using the authorities that exist today. The exercise will highlight where new legislative authorities could help prevent and respond to cyber incidents of this type.

Senate Cybersecurity Exercise

While I think that could be a useful exercise, I find it stunning that DHS would set up a grid attack scenario and fail to include the grid’s primary regulators – our Electric Reliability Organization, called NERC, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.   Sen. L. Murkowski

In the absence of legislation

We expect status quo for the next year, meantime…

Unlike other sectors, we already have mandatory and enforceable standards for cyber security.

Our members are self‐assessing their systems and working proactively With government:  DOE Cyber Security Maturity Model; 

On an industry‐wide basis:  a Threat Scenario Project with The Chertoff Group; and,

Myriad other pilots and initiatives that put national security information in the hands of grid operators.

State Perspectives

Asked how states are dealing with cyber security at a House Energy and Commerce Hearing in October 2009, NY Public Service Commission Chairman Garry Brown responded:

“It’s a mixed bag.”
