About this award
The U.S. Department of Energy awarded a $501,598,101 Cooperative Agreement under the Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience (CFDA 81.254) federal grant program to the Utah Office of Energy Development. The primary objective of this Bipartisan Infrastructure Law-funded "RELIEF" project is to implement advanced conductors, such as high-temperature, low-sag (HTLS) conductors, to significantly boost transmission capacity by an estimated 500+ MW in the Western region. This will be achieved through the deployment of modern composite advanced reconductoring techniques on existing rights-of-way. The project has an award date of January 1, 2025, and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2032. This award supports the Department of Energy's efforts to modernize and enhance the nation's electric grid infrastructure, improve grid reliability, and enable greater integration of renewable energy resources.
Description
The primary objective of relief is to implement advanced conductors such as high-temperature, low-SAG (htls) conductors to significantly boost transmission capacity in the western region. This deployment, using modern composite advanced reconductoring techniques on existing rights-of-way (row), will enable the transfer of an additional 500+ megawatts (MW) of renewable electricity.
