Description

Bipartisan infrastructure law (BIL) - project peer: pacificorp's equity-aware enhancement of grid resiliency the primary objective of project peer is to reduce the impact of extreme weather events, particularly wildfires, on sections of the electric grid that serve disadvantaged communities. The project focuses on deploying innovative asset hardening solutions using critical fire-resistant and fire prevention technologies to effectively reduce or eliminate ignition risks caused by overhead utility assets in the area, and to significantly improve electrical system resiliency. Additionally, peer addresses yurok tribal reliability concerns by upgrading substation assets and adding advanced microprocessor relays. The comprehensive, community-focused system hardening will improve resilience to extreme weather events by (I.) demonstrating improvements in system average interruption duration index (SAIDI), (II.) reducing ignition risks from overhead distribution lines, and (III.) introducing pre-apprentice graduates into the workforce.
