DOE is preparing to open the FY25 Grid Resilience State and Tribal Formula Grants application period and announced an opportunity to provide input on three potential National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors.
The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced $10 million available for states, tribes and non-profits to accelerate transmission deployment.
AEPCO, Basin, CORE, Minnkota Power, Tri-State and United Power were selected as finalists for funding through the USDA’s New ERA program.
DOE’s new portal streamlines transmission project permitting, cuts review timelines and enhances coordination with Tribes and stakeholders.
With extreme weather events on the rise, WAPA has faced growing energy costs. Yet, as it has from its inception, the organization continues to adapt.
The 45-day public comment period presents an opportunity for customers, Tribes and other stakeholders to provide feedback, which will be essential to informing DOE’s NIETC process.
The Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity is now accepting nominations for new members to join the Electricity Advisory Committee.
