The Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) program is a Grid Deployment Office (GDO) and Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) joint initiative which focuses on grid reliability, resiliency, and smart grid investments to upgrade the transmission and distribution systems of the nation’s electric grid. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriated approximately $10.5 billion for Fiscal Year 2022 through Fiscal Year 2026, allocating $3.9 billion for this round of funding.
