The Energy Emergency Leadership Act amends the Department of Energy Organization Act to assign new and expanded energy emergency and energy security functions to Assistant Secretaries. These responsibilities include safeguarding energy infrastructure, enhancing resilience, addressing emerging threats, and improving cybersecurity across the energy sector. The bill specifically tasks Assistant Secretaries with duties related to energy supply, emergency planning, preparedness, coordination, response, and restoration efforts. A crucial provision enables the Department to provide technical assistance and support to State, local, or Tribal governments, or energy sector entities upon request. This support is intended to help these entities protect against, detect, and respond to various energy security threats, risks, and incidents. Finally, the legislation mandates that the Secretary of Energy ensure these critical functions are performed in close coordination with other relevant Federal agencies .
