- Raleigh, North Carolina (By Invitation Only)
NASEO Hosts Southern Regional
Energy Assurance Exercise and
Workshop
On March 1–2, 2011, the U.S.
Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of
Electricity Delivery and Energy
Reliability (OE), the National
Association of State Energy Officials
(NASEO), the State of North Carolina,
and the City of Raleigh co-hosted the
2011 “Red Earth” Southern Regional
Energy Assurance Exercise and Workshop
in Raleigh, N.C. The exercise was
attended by over 150 representatives
from Federal, State and local
governments, trade associations, and
private industry. Attendees
assessed the consequences, mitigation,
and response to a series of simulated
large-scale regional energy emergencies
or supply disruptions. The
exercise allowed States to evaluate
their State and local energy assurance
plans, which are currently being
developed by State Energy Offices and
select local governments.
