The National Governors Association (NGA) will support four states —California, Connecticut, Illinois and Utah—
as they participate in the nationwide GridEx VI exercise, which reviews and tests energy emergency preparedness through a simulated coordinated cyber and physical incident on the electrical grid.
GridEx has grown to be the largest distributed play exercise of its kind in North America, serving as a critical benchmark that maximizes the ability of organizations to coordinate with neighboring utilities and reliability coordinators to effectively exercise and address grid reliability issues.
