Overview
Grant Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) - Advanced Solutions to Mitigate Wildfire Risk
This project seeks to deploy a suite of advanced wildfire risk mitigation technologies within utilities facing wildfire risk challenges, and to serve as a catalyst for widespread adoption of similar technologies across the Western United States.
To support this overall objective, a coalition of utilities, service providers, technology providers, academic institutions, and national labs has been assembled to achieve the following goals: accelerate deployment of advanced wildfire risk mitigation technologies, reduce the probability and consequence of ignitions, improve situation awareness, reduce outage frequencies and durations, and improve community awareness and increase communication through direct engagement.
