The Nebraska Department of Water, Energy, and Environment has announced the award of more than $15 million in grants to local communities to support critical infrastructure upgrades that will strengthen the reliability and resilience of Nebraska’s electric grid.
The grants are awarded through DWEE’s Grid Resiliency Grant Program, which received federal funds through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Preventing Outages and Enhancing the Electric Grid/Hazard Hardening Program. The program is supported by the DOE’s Grid Deployment Office as part of a nationwide effort to modernize and secure the country’s energy infrastructure.
