About this opportunity

This Request for Information (RFI) is being issued by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) to gather input on the creation of a Blue-Sky Training Program (BSTP) for Grid Scale Energy Storage Systems (ESS). The goal of the BSTP is to educate and train first responders, law enforcement, local communities, utilities, authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), and other stakeholders on how to respond to unanticipated ESS failures, including those caused by cyber threats, physical threats, and other operational issues. DOE is seeking information on program objectives, eligible applicants and partners, project deliverables, and effective training approaches. This RFI is not a funding opportunity announcement, and DOE will not provide reimbursement for costs incurred in responding.

While this RFI is not associated with a specific funding opportunity, the information gathered is intended to inform the potential development of future funding opportunities related to implementing cybersecurity and emergency response measures for the energy sector. The RFI is associated with the Electricity Research, Development and Analysis federal grant program (CFDA 81.122), which supports research, development, and outreach activities to modernize and enhance the security of the electric grid infrastructure.
