Virginia Grid Reliability Improvement Program Funding Opportunity
December 16, 2024, 3pm – 4pm
Join the DEIC team and Virginia Energy’s Brandi Frazier Bestpitch and Chensen Qi for an information session on the new Virginia Grid Reliability Improvement Program funding opportunity.
The objective of the Virginia Grid Reliability Improvement Program (VGRIP) is to enhance the resilience of the electric grid against disruptive events. Per IIJA section 40101(a)(1), a disruptive event is “an event in which operations of the electric grid are disrupted, preventively shut off or cannot operate safely due to extreme weather, wildfire or a natural disaster.”
Virginia is committed to assuring that all Virginians have access to affordable, abundant and reliable energy. This federally funded program will enable Virginia to partner with utility providers and other eligible entities to limit disruptive events that adversely impact our homes, schools, businesses and critical infrastructure.
Applications are due January 31, 2025, so this webinar is a chance to ask questions and starting preparing your application! Learn more about the program at https://energy.virginia.gov/
