The money will pay for last-mile energy delivery to low-income residents and efforts to lessen the risk of severe weather damaging the power grid.
The money will pay for last-mile energy delivery to low-income residents and efforts to lessen the risk of severe weather damaging the power grid.
The article lists an awfully long laundry list of things the funding will go towards, including adding battery storage to the grid.
Is $21 million (15m federal, article says about 6m from state funds) anywhere close to realistic…? Or is this like “1 battery here, check that off the list, bury these 3 cables here and check that off the list…”
Close to realistic for what exactly?
Any meaningful grid changes/upgrades. It just seems like a very very small budget for infrastructure.
Grants aren’t meant to be a full budget, it’s intended to supplement additional spending.
