The Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate and the Department of Energy jointly funded the Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power Grid (TCIPG) effort to address the challenge of protecting the nation’s power grid by significantly improving the way the  infrastructure is built, making it more secure, reliable, and safe.  The project is important to DHS S&T because it is developing technology solutions for the Smart Grid that already has security built in, and prevents vulnerabilities that could have severe economic, environmental, and public safety consequences.
