International Resilience
• Voluntary Program• Provides access to transmission and
generation step-up (GSU) transformers and related equipment, including bushings, fans, and auxiliary components.
• An Online tool to– Communicate equipment needs– Identify points of contact for
equipment• Utility-to-Utility arrangements are made offline
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade7
• Transformers and other critical, long lead-time equipment• Qualifying events like physical attacks, electromagnetic pulses,
solar storms, cyberattacks, earthquakes and severe weather events
• Industry-based initiative that plans to own and maintain equipment at secure, strategically located warehouses, and to offer additional logistics support to expedite equipment transportation to impacted sites. Grid Assurance will not be FERC-regulated, but plans to charge cost-based subscription fees, similar to FERC-regulated transmission, to facilitate subscribers’ ability to recover expenses.
