NREL's energy security and resilience research reduces the likelihood and impact of disruptions to energy systems—ensuring that essential services, critical missions, and communities can withstand and recover from evolving threats.

NREL's Energy Security and Resilience research is funded by several programs within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and by the DOE Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response. Work is also supported through partnerships with other federal agencies, states, local governments, international governments, and the private sector.
