Formula Grant DEGD0000215

This $426,190 federal Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience program (CFDA 81.254) aims to improve the resilience of the electric grid against disruptive events for the Jamul Indian Village in California. The grant, awarded on August 12, 2024, supports infrastructure projects that will enhance the reliability and resilience of the electric grid serving the tribal community, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2032. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Jamul Indian Village has demonstrated specialized capabilities in cultural resource preservation and managing archaeological collections, as evidenced by a previous $320,000 contract from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This grid resilience grant aligns with the Department of Energy's broader efforts to modernize electric infrastructure, integrate renewable energy, and support clean energy transitions in vulnerable communities across the United States.
