Kentucky Grid Resilience Program - Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet Kentucky Grid Resilience Program Kentucky Grid Resilience Program The Kentucky Grid Resilience Program is funded by the 40101(d): Grid Resilience State/Tribal Formula Grants Program. The objective of this program is to improve the resilience of the electric grid against disruptive events.
Per Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) section 40101(a)(1), 17 a disruptive event is “an event in which operations of the electric grid are disrupted, preventively shut off, or cannot operate safely due to extreme weather, wildfire, or a natural disaster.
” To achieve this objective, funding provided by DOE under this program may be used to implement a wide range of resilience measures intended to mitigate the impact of disruptive events. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has been awarded 27 million in federal funds to implement grid resiliency projects over the span of 5 years.
Regionally in Kentucky, state parks have served as critical community centers and emergency response facilities during disaster response and recovery. More recently, state parks were used during the pandemic response for first responder housing/non-congregate sheltering and as a refuge for survivors of devastating tornado and flooding events. They are the basis for regional resilience.
However, these parks have been challenged at times to be able to provide reliable power and basic services during these events, thereby compromising the social stability of the surrounding communities.
Therefore, the Commonwealth will use the resources offered by section 40401(d) of the IIJA to improve resilience at state owned distribution facilities that are key to supporting disaster survivors in the aftermath of significant weather events. Status : DOE has approved projects at both the Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park and Kenlake State Resort Park. Project preparation is underway with a start time in Quarter 4 of 2025.
Municipal Utilities in Kentucky share characteristics that lend themselves to developing community based energy resilience projects. These utilities are not-for-profit and are community owned. These utilities are built by and belong to the diverse communities and consumer members that they serve.
Therefore, the Commonwealth will use the resources offered by section 40401(d) of the IIJA to provide essential assistance to small municipal electric utilities that are in high-risk areas or have recently been affected by a disaster.
Status : DOE has approved the projects for the following awarded Small Electric Municipals: Williamstown Electric Utility, Princeton Electric Plant Board, Owensboro Municipal Utility, and Hopkinsville Electric System. Project preparation is underway with a start time in Quarter 4 of 2025. Project Narrative NETL Resource Library for 40101d FEMA Hazard Risk Index Mapping Tool
