Informational Session for Cooperative Utilities - Preventing Outages and Enhancing the Resilience of the Electric Grid (Grid Resilience Grants) Provision, Sec. 40101(d)  

Electrical Tower

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), State Energy Program, will host a virtual informational session about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Preventing Outages and Enhancing the Resilience of the Electric Grid Grants. This program is intended to provide funding to eligible entities to carry out activities that are supplemental to existing hardening efforts and reduce the risk of power lines causing a wildfire; or reduce the likelihood and consequences of disruptive events.

A minimum of $16,353,094 in funding is expected to be available for the first two years of the project; 50 percent of the funding will be available for large operators and the other 50 percent will be available for the small operators. All grant agreements require large operators, that sell more than 4 Terra watt hours (TWh) of electricity per year, to provide a minimum 100 percent match of the total requested grant funds. For small operators, that sell less than 4 TWh of electricity per year, are required provide a minimum of 1/3 amount of the total requested grant funds.

Join EGLE staff on *June 9, 2023*, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., to hear about the timing of the program, proposed funding distributions, objectives, and metrics as well as the criteria and methods Cooperative Utilities anticipate using to grant awards to eligible entities.
