Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) - Enabling Electric Vehicle (EV) and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) adoption through Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS), Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and fiber integration.
This project will modernize the recipient's distribution system to reduce power consumption, avoid costly system upgrades, drive resiliency and reliability, and improve the flexibility of the grid.
Smart metering data through Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) will be leveraged to gain operational efficiencies, reliability improvements, better consumer engagement, and effective integration of distributed energy resources.
The recipient will expand its utility fiber network and upgrade substations with security systems, deploying an effective fiber utility network that connects various nodes and devices for fast and effective data communication, as well as install advanced meters and associated equipment.
