Electric company

awarded state funds

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has awarded more than $15 million in grants to electric distribution companies to improve electric grid reliability and resilience through the 2024 Pennsylvania Grid Resilience Grants funding. Pennsylvania is experiencing more and longer power outages due to population growth, increasing energy demands, severe weather fueled by climate change, and aging infrastructure. Frequent and extended outages also impact Pennsylvanian businesses, healthcare, emergency response, and utility services. Northwestern Rural Electric Cooperative was awarded $834,400 for the installation of a new transmission line with advanced smart grid technology that will be constructed to add essential redundancy to the network. Through added back feed, power disruptions will go from days to seconds reducing total system outage time by 84 percent.
