Eaton can help guide you through every stage of power grid transformation – from customized designs, innovative solutions, FLISR control and automation packages to expert project management, service and support. With demands on the power grid continually evolving, it is important to design a system that can adapt to handle new technologies and changing consumer behaviors while maintaining cybersecurity.
For U.S. electrical utilities, building and maintaining a safe, reliable and resilient grid is as essential as power grid cybersecurity. The rapidly evolving energy landscape creates complexity as electrical utilities transition to distributed energy resources and address growing demands for electrification. Leverage the Congress-approved $79B funds to enable a more resilient, reliable grid.
The top programs funding grid modernization include:
At Eaton, we stand ready to support America’s federal clean energy, stimulus and infrastructure initiatives and build a stronger future for our families and communities. Learn about these funding opportunities and how we can help.
Grants to eligible entities, States, and Indian Tribes to prevent outages and enhance the resilience of the electric grid
Grant allocator: DOE
Eligible uses: 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.
Financial assistance to demonstrate innovative approaches to transmission, storage, and distribution infrastructure to harden and enhance resilience and reliability; and to demonstrate new approaches to enhance regional grid resilience
Grant allocator: DOE
Eligible uses: (A) to demonstrate innovative approaches to transmission, storage, and distribution infrastructure to harden and enhance resilience and reliability; and (B) to demonstrate new approaches to enhance regional grid resilience, implemented through States by public and rural electric cooperative entities on a cost-shared basis
To facilitate the construction of electric power transmission lines and related facilities to enable greater clean energy growth and provide low-cost clean energy to more Americans
Grant Allocator: DOE
Eligible uses: To facilitate eligible projects, the Secretary may-- (A) enter into a capacity contract with respect to an eligible project with the objective of reselling that capacity once the financial viability of the project has been established; (B) issue a loan to an eligible entity for the costs of carrying out an eligible project; or (C) participate with an eligible entity in designing, developing, constructing, operating, maintaining, or owning an eligible project
