Energy Resilience Construction Grants

The Energy Resilience Construction Grants solicitation, identified as DEEP-2027-003-SW and issued by the Connecticut DAS Procurement agency, seeks proposals from eligible entities to design and construct projects that enhance the resilience of the state's electric grid. The primary objective is to protect infrastructure against disruptive events such as extreme weather, wildfires, and natural disasters through resilience-focused upgrades and the deployment of distributed energy resources statewide. This initiative is supported by a combination of Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding, state bond cost match funding under C.G.S. 16 243y, and Federal SEP BIL funding. A total of approximately 24 million dollars is available for distribution, with individual grant awards ranging from 10,000 to 6 million dollars. Interested parties must submit their proposals by the deadline of December 1, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The program is managed by the Deep Energybureau, and all projects must be performed within the state of Connecticut.
