Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships Program (GRIP) is designed to enhance the resilience and reliability of the electric grid against extreme weather and natural disasters, while promoting innovations in grid technology. It aims to modernize the grid, ensuring a more flexible, efficient, and resilient power system across the United States.[3]
Goals
- Prevent outages and enhance grid resilience against extreme weather.[4]
- Deploy technologies to enhance grid flexibility and efficiency.
- Demonstrate innovative approaches to improve power sector infrastructure resilience.
Organization
The Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships Program is managed by the Grid Deployment Office within the U.S. Department of Energy. The leadership role for this program is held by the Director of the Grid Deployment Office.
Partners
- No specific partnerships are listed as the program works with a wide array of stakeholders including utilities, states, tribes, and local governments.
History
The GRIP Program was established through the **Bipartisan Infrastructure Law** in 2021, with funding allocated for the period from FY22 through FY26. It was launched to address immediate and long-term challenges in grid reliability, particularly in light of increasing extreme weather events. Key historical events include the announcement of the first round of funding in October 2023, where nearly $3.5 billion was awarded to support 58 projects across 44 states.[5]
Funding
GRIP was initially funded with $10.5 billion for the five-year period from FY22 to FY26.[6] The funding supports various activities under the program, including grants for utility resilience and innovation projects, with a cost match requirement from recipients.
Implementation
The program is implemented through:
- Funding opportunities for projects that enhance grid resilience and flexibility.
- Three main categories: Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants, Smart Grid Grants, and Grid Innovation Program.
- Providing technical assistance to awardees to ensure project success.
The program is scheduled to run until 2026, with the potential for extension or modification based on legislative action and performance.
