President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Provides Historic Investments to Build State and Tribal Electricity Grids Resilient to Climate Change, Deploy Cheaper and Cleaner Energy
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today opened the application period for States, Tribal nations, and territories to apply for the $2.3 billion formula grant program designed to strengthen and modernize America’s power grid against wildfires, extreme weather, and other natural disasters exacerbated by the climate crisis. The Preventing Outages and Enhancing the Resilience of the Electric Grid program is established by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and administered through DOE’s new Building a Better Grid Initiative. The program will assist with projects that create good-paying jobs to deliver clean, affordable, and reliable energy to more Americans when needed — getting the nation closer to the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of a national grid run on a 100% clean electricity by 2035.
“Every community deserves a strong and reliable energy grid that can deploy cleaner, cheaper power to homes and businesses,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “Thanks to the transformative investments in grid infrastructure from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we can help protect our neighborhoods, main streets, and downtowns from grid shutdowns during extreme weather events, while creating good-paying jobs in the process.”
Power outages from severe weather have doubled over the past two decades across the U.S. and the frequency and length of time for power failures has reached their highest levels since reliability tracking began in 2013 — with U.S. customers on average experiencing more than eight hours of outages in 2020.
The Preventing Outages and Enhancing the Resilience of the Electric Grid formula grant program will provide $459 million annually to States and Tribal nations over an anticipated five-year period to improve the resilience of the electric grid against disruptive events. Grid resilience activities could include:
Utility pole upkeep and removal of trees and other vegetation affecting grid performance
Undergrounding electrical equipment
Relocating or reconductoring powerlines
Improvements to make the grid resistant to extreme weather
Increasing fire resistant components
Implementing monitoring, controls, and advanced modeling for real-time situational awareness
Integrating distributed energy resources like microgrids and energy storage
Applicants will be asked to describe the concrete outcomes they intend to seek, and commit to specific progress metrics, such as reducing or shortening outages from severe events or by reducing risks to health and safety from such outages. The funding progra
yeah saw that all/ cant belive the share price is down here
update will be good as they have alluded to some work with some big US power grid companies like Edison already
A full operational update of Narf Industries plc will be provided shortly.

thats from 2019, times have changed , I think NARF need to show they have sales of TIGR with some US power companies now
And Steve Bassi remains CEO of both, and presumably controls both. Unclear what he means in the interview about Polyswarm BC set up due to frustration with Narf, as I read it, at least.

Why you think that?
like they wont be doing Polyswarm then. but sounds likes lots of interesting news to come on the NARF front
eyups
Great story!

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Power grids around the country remain vulnerable to cyber attacks, but the New York Assembly passed legislation Wednesday that would take steps to protect the state’s energy supply. Assemblyman Mike Cusick (D-North Shore/Mid-Island) introduced the bill as chair of his chamber’s Energy Committee, and said the legislation would help protect New Yorkers from the type of cyber attack blackouts seen around the globe. “New York’s energy grid is a prime target for hackers and cyber criminals across the globe,” he said. “We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines and give folks who want to harm New York’s unfettered access to the grid. The passage of this legislation is a crucial step in our fight against cyber crime and our efforts to bolster the resiliency of our grid.”
The Senate version of the bill has yet to be brought to a vote, and a spokesperson for Gov. Kathy Hochul said she would review the legislation if it passes both chambers. It passed the Assembly unanimously.
Earlier this year, Hochul launched a statewide partnership called the “Joint Security Operations Center” that serves as a first-of-its-kind cyber command center in the U.S. offering a statewide view of cyber threats to New York and promises improved coordination with federal and local partners.
She made the announcement in February with mayors from the state’s top cities, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
“There is a new type of emerging risk that threatens our daily lives, and just as we improved our physical security infrastructure in the aftermath of 9/11, we must now transform how we approach cybersecurity with that same rigor and seriousness,” the governor said.
is well rubbish
