U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today the agency he leads allocated nearly $38 million in funding economic stimulus package funds to all states to help their emergency preparedness plans in case of energy supply disruptions.

The funding will also help states address cyber security concerns, integration of smart grid technologies and renewable energy sources into the transmission network, the Department of Energy said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Today's awards provide crucial support to our state partners in modernizing the electrical grid and enhancing our energy security,' Secretary Chu said. "Enhancing the states' ability to quickly and effectively respond to energy disruptions is a critical element in meeting our nation's energy goals,' he added.
