USA, Washington, D.C.: DOE seeks public feedback on Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Grid Resilience Innovation Programs.
The programs are meant to enhance the power grid’s ability to deliver cheaper, cleaner energy to American communities.
DOE has issued a Request for Information (RFI), seeking information from states, Tribes, communities, utilities, project developers, and other key stakeholders to help refine the funding opportunity announcement that will be made later this year and to guide the implementation of the funding over five years to enhance the electric grid in support of President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. These programs will accelerate the deployment of transformative projects that will help to ensure the reliability of the power sector’s infrastructure, so all American communities have access to affordable, reliable, clean electricity anytime, anywhere while helping deliver on the President’s goal of 100 % clean electricity by 2035.
“DOE is moving quickly to upgrade the nation’s power grid in order to provide American households with more reliable and affordable electricity that comes from a more diverse set of clean energy sources,” said US Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm.
DOE expects to release the final Funding Opportunity Announcement for FY22 and FY23 funding that will solicit concept papers and applications later this year.
