About this award
Southern California Edison Company (SCE) received a $5.6 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Energy's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) under the Cybersecurity, Energy Security & Emergency Response program (CFDA 81.008), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. The award funds SCE to develop and demonstrate collaborative autonomy (CA) computational techniques that enable distributed energy devices to achieve reliable, self-organizing monitoring and control capabilities during cyberattack scenarios. This project addresses critical gaps in energy infrastructure resilience by enabling distributed energy resources to operate through compromise—maintaining functionality and coordination even when experiencing cyber threats.
The project deliverables center on advancing next-generation cybersecurity tools and technologies for the energy sector, consistent with CESER's mandate to enhance U.S. critical energy infrastructure protection. SCE will demonstrate practical applications of collaborative autonomy methods at its Westminster, California facility, producing technologies applicable to physical security, cybersecurity threat mitigation, and operational resilience of electric power systems and distributed energy networks. This cooperative agreement represents a merit-based selection within CESER's competitive solicitation process and aligns with the program's emphasis on technology demonstration suited to operational grid environments.
Description
The recipient will demonstrate the ability to "operate through compromise" by enabling distributed energy devices to achieve reliable, self-organizing monitoring and control during a cyberattack through a collection of computational techniques called collaborative autonomy (CA).
