The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $2,439,496 Cooperative Agreement to the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) under the Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience Program (CFDA 81.254) to increase the resiliency of IID's electric infrastructure serving the rural communities of Mecca and North Shore in Imperial County, California. The project will improve the reliability of electric service by increasing line capacity, installing protective and switching devices, reconductoring feeders, and integrating distributed generation. These infrastructure upgrades are designed to reduce the frequency and duration of power outages often caused by extreme weather events in the region. The project is scheduled for completion by May 13, 2025.
