Energy Sector Government Coordinating Council

Overview
The Energy Sector Government Coordinating Council is the government counterpart of the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council, and its purpose is to enable interagency and cross-jurisdictional coordination on planning, implementing, and executing resilience programs for the nation's critical energy infrastructure.

Among other things, the Energy Sector Government Coordinating Council is meant to identify energy sector resiliency issues that need interagency and public-private coordination; identify strategies to correct or eliminate gaps or overlaps in plans, programs, and policies; facilitate the sharing of approaches and results of successful resiliency programs; and leverage complementary resources within and between federal agencies and industry. The council includes representatives from various levels of government (federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal) and is co-chaired by representatives from DOE and DHS. The council’s charter calls for it to meet at least three times each year.
