Competitive Funding
Funded by Department of Energy

Program overview

In fiscal years 2022 through 2025, the Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience programs received $10,999,861,634 in total obligated funds. The program offers states, local governments, tribal governments, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, public utilities, electric grid and electricity storage operators, electricity generators, transmission owners or operators, distribution providers, fuel suppliers, and colleges and universities funding to increase the flexibility, efficiency, and reliability of the electric power system; support the modernization of the electric grid to reduce extreme weather and natural disaster effects; and enhance grid resilience and reliability. The money can go toward projects that help to ensure the reliability of the power sector’s infrastructure so communities have access to affordable, reliable electricity.

About

Update: This tool was updated on October 21, 2026 with a new data source for federal funding information, new fiscal years of data, new measures of community need, and new analysis pages by infrastructure category.

In this tool, we analyze 71 major federal infrastructure programs funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and annual appropriations (many programs were allocated funding through multiple laws). The funding data comes from USAspending.gov, which is standardized across federal agencies. Data in the initial tool release (2023) and prior update (2025) came from a combination of sources, including USAspending.gov, program fact sheets, and agency-level press releases and award announcements.

Demographic and need indicator data come from approximately 25 publicly available sources, including the 2016–20 American Community Survey five-year estimates from the US Census Bureau and data produced by other federal agencies.
