The U.S. Department of Energy today announced its intent to deploy Defense Production Act (DPA) funding to accelerate the expansion of transmission capacity in Virginia and West Virginia, strengthening grid reliability and infrastructure essential to national defense.

The Energy Department Announces Intention to Support Adding 2.5 GW of Grid Capacity and 800 Jobs

The U.S. Department of Energy today announced its intent to deploy Defense Production Act funding to develop a second high-voltage connection between Southcentral and Interior Alaska, strengthening grid infrastructure essential to national defense.

Teams awarded for innovative distribution system feeder solutions.

Mission-critical commercial and military applications have extremely high uptime requirements and tight deployment space constraints. Advanced small nuclear reactors, packaged as compact units and deployed in microgrids, present a tantalizing option to meet these constraints and advance many of our nation’s priorities.

Microgrids offer a promising solution to enable the fast, reliable, and affordable build-out of data centers with shorter timelines relative to distribution/transmission grid expansion.

Microgrids have emerged as a promising part of the solution to the challenges of increasing electricity costs, power outages and increasing loads.

The power grid needs innovative ways to add additional energy production and control capabilities to the power system. The Office of Electricity is advancing one such approach with microgrid systems.
