Project Grant

Overview

Grant Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) - Accelerating and deploying grid edge computing

To support the recipient’s goal of sourcing 25 percent of its peak load from its distribution system and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2030, the recipient will install a scalable, distributed artificial intelligence (AI) platform to accelerate grid edge computing capabilities and enhance distributed energy resource (DER) integration.

The recipient will deploy approximately 90,000 grid edge computing (GEC) devices, across approximately 10 percent of its customer base, as the first step towards deploying advanced grid edge computing throughout its territory.

This deployment will allow the recipient to target key locations within its service territory to demonstrate the value of edge computing prior to a full system deployment.

The project will focus approximately 40 percent of the GECs in disadvantaged communities (DACs) to support greater resiliency and clean energy parity within DACs.
