Navigating U.S. Standards and Regulation for Digital Energy Systems Standards and Regulation Risk Mapping

Summary

The rapid deployment of digital energy infrastructure in the U.S., including smart meters and grid-control systems, has outpaced the evolution of cybersecurity standards, creating significant vulnerabilities for the electric grid. This report from Idaho National Laboratory maps the current landscape of U.S. standards and regulations, highlights critical gaps in security coverage—especially for smaller utilities and distributed energy resources—and provides recommendations to enhance the resilience of digital energy systems. The status of addressing these gaps is in progress, with ongoing efforts to improve security practices.
