Exercise Background - The Governor's Office Energy Management and Conservation (GEO), the Office of Preparedness, Security, and Fire Safety, and the Colorado Office of Emergency Management sponsored an Colorado Energy Emergency Response Plan table-top exercise. Our company (Energy Planning Consultants) conducted the exercise at the City of Greenwood Village Council Chambers, 6060 South Quebec Street, Greenwood Village, CO. The host for this exercise was Lt. Dave Fisher of the Greenwood Village Police Department. Over 60 people attended the half-day event. We all learned a lot about the fuel delivery process in the Denver METRO area (see attendees list). Funds to conduct this exercise were provided by the Governor's Office Energy Management and Conservation (GEO) and the Office of Preparedness, Security, and Fire Safety.

Purpose - To test the Colorado Energy Emergency Response Plan and the Greenwood Village Colorado Energy Plan sections associated with electricity disruption and the resulting requirements for emergency fuel delivery. Specific sections of the plan to be tested are:

Chapter 5 - Electricity Shortage Emergency

Chapter 11 - Energy Public Information Program

Appendix C - Emergency Petroleum Set-Aside Program

Objective - Energy Planning Consultants demonstrated our  NEW Event Management Software (EMS). Critical facility managers in the Denver Metro Area learned how to request emergency generator fuel through the system. This tabletop exercise tested the effectiveness of the Colorado Fuel Set-Aside Program.
