We applaud the U.S. Senate bipartisan infrastructure group for its leadership with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The bill's grid provisions are historic investments for modernizing the electric grid. https://gridwise.org/praises-senate-bipartisan-infrastructure-group-on-electric-grid-investments/

Yes! And a perfect reference to the 2009 DOE #SGIG program that enabled "more than 200 electric utilities and providers to preform resiliency upgrades to their transmission and distribution networks, metering infrastructure and customer systems" Refresh and repeat.

I’m proud that @Exelon has joined @gridwisedc and leaders across the industry in calling on Congress to fund $50 billion in necessary investments for grid modernization. Modernizing the grid means supporting reliability, resilience, & equitable access to affordable electricity.
