COVID-19 ENERGY SECTOR STATUS REPORTS
FOR BUSINESSES
Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act
The CARES Act is intended to address the immediate economic needs of businesses and individuals. Energy-related provisions of the CARES Act include $900 million for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (known as the “HEAT” program in Utah — more information can be found in the “For Residents” section below).
Critical Infrastructure COVID-19 Tabletop Exercise Package
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) developed the COVID-19 Recovery CISA Tabletop Exercise Package (CTEP) to assist private sector stakeholders and critical infrastructure owners and operators in assessing short-term, intermediate, and long-term recovery and business continuity plans related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Approved by the White House Task Force, and with input from the Federal interagency, this CTEP also provides organizations the opportunity to discuss how ongoing recovery efforts would be impacted by concurrent response operations to a potential “second wave” of global pandemic infections.
