New York State will receive $24 million in federal funding to " strengthen and modernize" the state's electric grid, according to a press release from Governor Kathy Hochul.
The money is part of a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy meant to provide support for projects in New York that ensure infrastructure reliability and access to affordable clean energy.
“This funding underscores the benefits that New York’s productive partnership with the federal government continues to bring to the state and will help us modernize our electric grid and its associated infrastructure as part of a future powered by clean energy," Governor Hochul said via a release.
New York was one of nine states and five tribal nations that were awarded a combined total of $125 million in federal funds.
