Location: Virtual Zoom Webinar. Meeting purpose/description: This is a public informational meeting on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Grid Resilience Formula Fund Program (Section 40101d). The meeting will be held virtually on Zoom. The Grid Resilience Formula Fund program will provide a total of $459 million each year for five years to States and Indian Tribes. The funds available under this program are intended to improve the resilience of the electric grid against disruptive events, such as reducing shut offs due to extreme weather or natural disaster. Maine is currently scheduled to receive nearly $2.2 million for each of the next five years. Maine tribal nations will also separately be allocated their own funding amount. For additional details, visit GEO's website linked here: https://www.maine.gov/energy/initiatives/infrastructure/gridresilience GEO is seeking input to help inform the program objectives that will guide funding investments. In this meeting, GEO will share details on the federal program requirements, with time for public comments and questions.
