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.
