DOE Announces Grant Programs for Smart Grid Technology
V&E Energy Currents E-communication, April 20, 2009
On April 16, 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced plans to implement two programs to spur investment in smart grid technology, Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) technology, and energy storage technology. The two programs – the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program and Smart Grid Demonstration Program – were authorized by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and later modified by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Together, they comprise nearly $4 billion in funds that will be available to develop, test, and implement new technologies. DOE is soliciting comments on these programs through May 6, 2009, and expects to issue Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) on June 17, 2009. Read entire article here.
