Grid Resilience State/Tribal Formula Grants Program | Department of Energy Grid Resilience State/Tribal Formula Grants Program Managed through the Grid Deployment Office (GDO), and administered by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), the Grid Resilience State and Tribal Formula Grants program is designed to strengthen and modernize America’s power grid against wildfires, extreme weather, and other natural disasters.
The program will distribute funding to states, territories, and federally recognized Indian tribes, including Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Alaska Native Village Corporations, over five years based on a formula that includes factors such as population size, land area, probability and severity of disruptive events, and a locality’s historical expenditures on mitigation efforts.
The states, territories, and tribes will then award these funds to a diverse set of projects, with priority given to efforts that generate the greatest community benefit providing affordable and reliable energy.

The Formula Grant Explained A formula grant is a non-competitive funding opportunity to a specific group of applicants, in this case to states and Indian tribes. A formula is used to allocate funds to the eligible applicants.
The Formula and Resulting Allocations For this program, the formula was based on five factors: population, area, probability of disruptive events, severity of disruptive events, and expenditure on mitigation efforts. The formula allocations resulted in these allocation amounts for each state, U.S. territory, and Federal recognized tribe for FY 2022, 2023 and 2024. Data sources for the formula are publicly available.
Steps to Take Before You Apply Prior to preparing your application you will need to issue a public notice and conduct a public hearing to receive input on the criteria, strategies, and methods you plan to use when determining and implementing your grid resilience projects. Applicant must also register for SAM. gov, FedConnect and obtain a UEI.
The application process is outlined in the Administrative & Legal Requirements Document (ALRD) on DOE’s FedConnect. Video tutorials for completing and submitting the application are available, and include what you need to know before applying, registration and pre-application requirements, necessary forms, and steps after submission.
How Long It Takes to Apply The application process has been streamlined to minimize the number of forms and amount of information that needs to be provided with the application. Templates and sample documents are available. The Program Narrative submitted with your application, which describes the strategy for selecting and implementing resilience projects (estimated to be 5-15 pages), will require the most time to prepare.
The Program Narrative also must include a summary of the public notice and hearing that was held to allow public input into these strategies. Funding Match Requirements States and Indian Tribes, and Sub-awardees States and Indian tribes will need provide a 15 percent match on the Federal allocation. However, the 15 percent could be met in part by things like the salary paid to the staff that work on the project.
Additionally, should the state or Indian tribe issue subawards for resilience projects, the entity receiving those funds must provide a 100 percent match (or 1/3 match for “small utilities”), as explained in the ALRD. Organizations chosen during the state or tribe’s selection process will need to contribute up to a 100 percent match, depending on the type of organization.
