The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources has contracted with RW Beck, a Seattle consulting firm with offices, in Boston to analyze the state's energy infrastructure in an effort to protect it from disruption.
The project will be paid for with nearly $460,000 in federal stimulus money, according to a statement from the state's Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, which oversees the energy resources department.
"Ensuring the Commonwealth's energy security is critical to efforts to safeguard the well-being of Massachusetts residents and continued growth of our economy," Governor Deval Patrick said in that statement.
