Grid Resilience Grant Program

The Environmental Finance Authority anticipates opening another round of funding in 2026 for about $15.48 million.The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority released an RFP for grid operators, storage operators, distribution providers, among other entities, to enhance the resiliency of the electric grid. Eligible projects include the use or construction of DERs for enhancing resiliency during disruptive grid events, including microgrids and battery storage subcomponents. Energy storage systems, including batteries, are allowed if the system is used to improve grid resilience during disruptive events. Co-located storage systems may be allowed, and any equipment integrated a battery into a solar system is likely an allowable expense.The awards vary, and cost matching is required.
