Boosting Grid Resilience in Communities Impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton On October 13, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced more than $600 million to bolster grid resilience and reliability in the face of extreme weather and increased electricity demand across the states affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
The funding will help harden the electric grid across the Southeastern U.S.; install advanced conductors and controls to help local power companies better face increasing extreme weather; deploy self-healing devices and enable more efficient and precise dispatching of field teams during outages; upgrade lines to meet critical capacity and flexibility for projected load growth and renewable integration; and build, rebuild, or reconductor transmission infrastructure.
This investment will help reduce the likelihood of outages, speed up restoration times, and increase grid operational resilience for millions of customers in communities most susceptible to prolonged outages in one of the highest storm-risk regions of the country. Projects receiving funding within communities affected by Hurricane Helene include: Randolph Electric Membership Corporation ( Up to $11.
4 million in North Carolina ) Tennessee Valley Authority ( Up to $250 million in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia ) Gainesville Regional Utilities ( Up to $47 million in Florida ) Georgia Power Company ( Up to $160 million in Georgia ) Georgia Transmission Corporation ( Up to $97 million in Georgia, Arkansas, Arizona, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wisconsin ) Switched Source ( Up to $47 million in Florida and Illinois ) As of October 18, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy has announced about $4.
2 billion in federal investments through the second round of GRIP funding for 46 projects in 47 states plus the District of Columbia to protect the U.S. power grid against growing threats of extreme weather, lower costs for communities, and enable additional grid capacity to meet load growth stemming from an increase in manufacturing, data centers, and electrification.
Through the first and second rounds of GRIP funding, GDO has announced a total of $7. 6 billion in funding for 105 selected projects in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
