Grant Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) – Jamestown Community Microgrid
The Jamestown Community Microgrid project will provide the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities (the recipient) with the tools and capacity to deliver reliable and resilient electrical services to the downtown corridor and broader community during a transmission or sub-transmission outage(s).
The microgrid will enable potentially life-saving energy to be delivered to public and emergency services, schools, senior and assisted living housing facilities, homeless shelters, small businesses, EV charging stations, and the regional hospital in the city of Jamestown.
The microgrid project will provide equitable access to well-paying union labor and prevailing wage jobs in the Justice40 community and will create additional temporary well-paying union and prevailing wage jobs during the construction phase.
The microgrid system will be designed to be expandable/maintainable to handle future electrification load growth and new distributed energy resource (DER) technologies.
