Open funding

Grid Resilience State and Tribal Formula Grants (new round)
On October 20, the U.S. Department of Energy added roughly $967 million to this formula program, which helps states, territories, and federally recognized tribes (including Alaska Native corporations) make local power systems more reliable and better able to withstand outages and severe weather. Each tribe has a set allocation; you can look up your tribe’s share and the application steps on FedConnect under opportunity DE-FOA-0002736. The new 120-day application window is open to returning grantees and first-time applicants.
Deadline: February 17, 2027, 11:59 p.m. Eastern. Amount: about $967 million total; individual allocations vary.
