Protecting and improving the resiliency of the energy system in the face of both man-made and natural disasters is a continuous effort at the state level that requires sustained vigilance, contingency planning, and training.
Designed by Argonne National Laboratory and CESER – and informed by state energy security and emergency management officials – ACES enables state governments to have a robust and deliberate energy security planning process.
ACES is a free self-assessment tool that guides a comprehensive evaluation of existing energy security and emergency response plans and in-house capabilities. The tool helps governments officials establish their current energy security baseline and identify opportunities for growth. To learn more, please visit the ACES website.
