The program supports actions that facilitate the grid’s adaptation to changing loads while enhancing reliability, resilience, and efficiency, and encouraging fair and equitable cost distribution.
We accomplish these goals by: regularly providing technical reports and compiling data on energy transition metrics and grid modernization topics and progress; making informed legislative and policy recommendations; and managing a grant program to support technology-focused pilot projects and other relevant research. ( See the “Electric Grid Modernization Grant Program” section below for more details ).

Electric Grid Modernization Grant Program The Grid Modernization Program, established by the Grid Modernization Roadmap Act of 2020 ( NMSA § 71-11-1 ) and pursuant to 17. 9. 588 NMAC , is intended to improve the electric distribution and transmission infrastructure to make it more flexible and responsive to modern energy resources and demands.
By providing grants to energy customers–e.g., local governments, education institutions and tribal governments– the program supports projects that enhance electricity reliability and affordability, among other objectives, while facilitating the integration of renewable electricity generation resources.
Grid modernization projects are those that make “improvements to electric distribution or transmission infrastructure to accommodate or facilitate the integration of renewable electric generation resources with the electric distribution grid or otherwise enhance electric distribution or transmission grid reliability, grid security, demand response capability, customer service or energy efficiency or conservation.
” Some potential projects are described on slide 10 of the presentation below. Grid Modernization 101. pdf Grid Modernization Grants ECAM is pleased to announce an additional round of Grid Modernization grant funding.
Applications must be submitted via the email provided in the June Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) by 3PM MDT on August 15, 2026. The Energy Conservation and Management Division (ECAM) invites eligible entities to submit project proposals for Grid Modernization Program funding by August 15, 2026. Funded projects fit within one of three types.
Type 1 projects are original research projects that advance the state’s understanding and appreciation of grid function, reliability, resilience, security and operation as it relates to the integration of renewable and zero-carbon resources, including impacts on customer behavior, operations and maintenance costs or the value of specific grid technologies.
Type 2 projects consist of pre-construction or design activities to support grid modernization construction/installation projects. Type 3 projects involve construction, installation, operation and verification of a grid modernization technology at a project site. ECAM intends to reserve ninety percent of the available funds for Type 3 projects and five percent each to Type 1 and Type 2 projects.
A Link to the Notice of Funding (NOFO) can be found on ECAM’s Request for Proposals page. Technical Assistance for Eligible Entities Eligible entities and their prospective partners are encouraged to review the worksheet and sample project case studies below.
These materials are designed to inform eligible entities about the grid modernization program and to provide guidance on how to match local objectives with effective grid upgrades, using real-world examples. ECAM is also happy to facilitate workshops for eligible entities upon request. Grid Mod Program Summary and Worksheet.

On April 20, 2026, the White House declared grid, natural gas, LNG, petroleum, and coal 'essential to national defense,' unlocking DPA Title III loans, loan guarantees, and purchase commitments through DOE. Here is how this non-traditional financing works, who qualifies, why the September 30 sunset matters, and how energy companies and their supply chains should position now.
Read articleThe Defense Production Act's Title III has quietly become one of the most active federal funding vehicles of 2026 — $500M for energy infrastructure, ~$275M for critical-minerals processing, and a standing defense-manufacturing FOA. But the underlying authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization. Here is how DPA Title III works, who is eligible, why it differs from a normal grant, and how to move before the window closes.
Read articleThe FY2026 federal funding map has tilted hard toward AI, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development — while a new layer of political review asks whether each award advances administration priorities. Here is a strategic map of where the money is moving, and how to position a proposal for the new alignment screen without distorting the work.
