Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) | Department of Energy Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) The Office of Electricity is administering a $10.
5 billion Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) Program to enhance grid flexibility and improve the resilience of the power system against growing pressures from aging infrastructure, increased load demand, evolving cybersecurity threats, and the rising frequency of disruptive events.
The GRIP program will accelerate the deployment of transformative projects that will help to ensure the reliability of the power sector’s infrastructure, so all American customers have access to affordable, reliable electricity. Through the first and second rounds of GRIP funding, DOE has announced more than $6 billion in funding.
Third Funding Opportunity On March 12, 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced nearly $2 billion in federal investment to the Speed to Power through Accelerated Reconductoring and other Key Advanced Transmission Technology Upgrades (SPARK) funding opportunity .
This program aims to address the nation’s energy emergency by unleashing American energy and prioritizing investment in power system infrastructure with rapid development timelines and early, measurable impacts. Second Funding Opportunity On October 18, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced about $4.
2 billion in federal investments that will protect the U.S. power grid against growing threats of extreme weather, lower electricity costs for America, and increase grid capacity to meet load growth stemming from an increase in manufacturing, data centers, and expanding artificial intelligence and cloud-ready approaches First Funding Opportunity On October 18, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy announced up to $3.
46 billion in Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) Program investments to strengthen electric grid resilience and reliability across America. This includes projects selected under Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants. The program includes three funding mechanisms: Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants ($2.
5 billion) Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants support activities that will modernize the electric grid to reduce impacts due to extreme weather and natural disasters. This program will fund comprehensive transformational transmission and distribution technology solutions that will mitigate multiple hazards across a region, including extreme weather or system aging, security threats and any other event that can cause disruption.
This program provides grants to electric grid operators, electricity storage operators, electricity generators, transmission owners or operators, distribution providers, and fuel suppliers.
Smart Grid Grants ($3 billion) Smart Grid Grants increase the flexibility, efficiency, and reliability of the electric power system, with particular focus on increasing capacity of the transmission system, preventing faults that may lead to wildfires or other system disturbances, integrating new generation at the transmission and distribution levels, and facilitating the integration of advanced transmission technologies and smart grid devices.
Smart grid technologies funded and deployed at scale under this program will demonstrate a pathway to wider market adoption. This grant program has broad eligibility, open to domestic entities including institutions of higher education; for-profit entities; non-profit entities; and state and local governmental entities, and tribal nations.
Grid Innovation Program ($5 billion) Grid Innovation Program provides financial assistance to one or multiple states, Tribes, local governments, and public utility commissions to collaborate with electric sector owners and operators to deploy projects that use innovative approaches to transmission, storage, and distribution infrastructure to enhance grid resilience and reliability.
Broad project applications are of interest including interregional transmission projects, investments that accelerate interconnection of diverse energy generation, utilization of distribution grid assets to provide backup power and reduce transmission requirements, and more.
Innovative approaches can range from use of advanced transmission technologies to innovative partnerships to the deployment of projects identified by innovative planning processes to many others.
