BISMARCK—U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, announced the Department of Energy (DOE) awarded the state of North Dakota $7,499,037 through the first round of funds distributed from the Grid Resilience State and Tribal Formula Grants program which was part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

These funds will help modernize the electric grid by reducing the magnitude, duration, frequency, and impacts of grid outages caused by natural disasters and extreme weather conditions. Selected projects will ensure the reliability of our power sector and develop energy solutions to drive down energy costs for disadvantaged and underserved communities.
