Programs
Ginomduring this reporting period, the ginom program advanced as an innovative decision support tool designed to help leaders prepare for and manage complex crises. Ginom is a unique multi-sector interdependency-informed decision support platform that enables analysis of cross-sector connections between critical infrastructure assets such as energy generation, water distribution, communications, transportation. In both planning and real-time mode, the platform analyzes how disruptions in different sectors cascade through an entire interconnected system, and provides decision-makers with data-driven visibility into vulnerabilities, (continued on schedule o) interdependencies, and recovery decision-chain options informed by these assessments. A. Development progressmajor milestones were achieved in the development of the simulation and analytics engine. In its current testbed implementation, the platform now supports asset-level modeling, cascading-effect propagation, and event-based scenarios. A new explainable-ai layer was designed and implemented, interpreting scenario outcomes and providing clear decision-chain recommendations for preparedness and response planning. Work also…

With rising risks and threats from cyberattacks, emp strikes and extreme weather, blackstart capabilities are increasingly at risk. The handbook offers practical strategies (continued on schedule o) for transmission operators, government agencies and private partners to ensure grid providers will have a robust capability for power restoration in the aftermath of catastrophic outages. It explores how emerging technologies, such as battery storage and inverter-based renewable energy, could support blackstart in the future, while also emphasizing the continued importance of natural gas-fueled generators and related baseload-capable generation technologies. The handbook emphasizes the importance of policy alignment, infrastructure protection, and cross-sector collaboration to maintain…

Energy sector web (esweb) expansioneis council created the energy sector web (esweb) initiative to address a serious energy sector communications shortfall in black sky-class blackstart scenarios, in which normal means for interoperable cross-corporate communication will likely fail. The system's architecture is designed to leverage energy sector corporations' existing, extensive corporate-owned fiberoptic assets, functioning as a cyber and emp-secure corporate-owned and operated interoperable communication system.current status:a. The final stages of the initial esweb proof-of-concept project (between dominion energy, exelon, and pjm) have been fully tested and verified.b. The esweb initiative is now also being actively pursued by the tennessee valley authority (tva) and the midwest independent system operator (miso).c. Two more prospective partners, duke energy and national grid, are poised to join esweb, and eis is also reaching out to the canadian power company hydro one.international black sky resilience engagementin addition to the activities reported on above, the council also maintains black sky resilience initiatives with an international focus, including efforts…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $2.5M to $1.1M (−58%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 2% · 2022 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of ELECTRIC INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY COUNCIL INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
82% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ELECTRIC INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY COUNCIL INC.
