Check out our new report featuring state-by-state maps of transmission lines in all 50 states and Puerto Rico that are candidates for reconductoring. These short line segments (under 50 miles) could help boost grid capacity and reduce congestion nationwide ⚡ Each map is color-coded by voltage level and shows the total candidate miles per state, making it easy to spot opportunities for capacity expansion. Explore the report to discover reconductoring potential in your state and learn how these upgrades can support the nation’s focus on speed to power! ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21wXWKL Learn more ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21wXWKK

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency recently reaffirmed its commitment to helping state, local, tribal and territorial governments strengthen cyber resilience through expanded tools, funding and expertise. At INL, we’re proud to contribute to this mission through the development of tools to help critical infrastructure operators assess and improve their cybersecurity posture. The Cyber Security Evaluation Tool is a cornerstone of INL’s efforts to empower state and local government with structured, standards-based assessments to determine cyberthreat readiness. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ehcjsSf2 All Hazards Analysis helps decision-makers and emergency managers identify infrastructure dependencies and risks to support informed, system-wide planning. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/edPSaCt2 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gikPwAuP #Cybersecurity #Cyber #Tech

Meet Keith Mecham 👋 He's a cybersecurity engineer at INL focused on protecting embedded control systems, like those in power plant substations and manufacturing facilities. Fun fact ➡️ INL is one of the only places in the world that focuses on this type of research. It's important to protect these heavily relied on devices and systems so that we never have to go without a critical service. Thanks to Mecham and his team, there is a technology called OmniTap that provides companies a better protection against hackers trying to access networks or information stored on them. This tool will soon be available to purchase anywhere in the U.S. Learn more about our cybersecurity research: https://lnkd.in/gvMQKGWP

BREAKING ➡️ President Trump just signed an Executive Order to launch the Genesis Mission, a historic national effort led by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), to transform American science and innovation through the power of artificial intelligence, strengthening the nation’s technological leadership and global competitiveness.   The Genesis Mission will mobilize the DOE’s 17 national laboratories, industry and academia to build an integrated discovery platform, and we are proud to be part of the team. This mission will connect the world’s best supercomputers, AI systems, and next-generation quantum systems with the most advanced scientific instruments in the nation. Once complete, the platform will be the world’s most complex and powerful scientific instrument ever built. It will draw on the expertise of roughly 40,000 DOE scientists, engineers, and technical staff, alongside private sector innovators, to ensure that the United States leads and builds the technologies that will define the future.
