The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), provides formula-based funds to states to improve the resilience of the electric grid against disruptive events. Measures eligible for funds include utility pole management, power line relocation or reconductoring and microgrids, as well as the training, recruitment, retention and reskilling of skilled and properly credentialed workers in order to perform the work required for eligible measures.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is the Governor’s designated lead agency for receiving and administering these funds through its Division of Energy. Missouri received $20,753,674 for the first three federal fiscal years of the program. Funding amounts over the next two federal fiscal years are contingent on U.S. Department of Energy allocations. These funds may be provided to entities including electric grid operators, electricity storage operators, electricity generators, transmission owners or operators, distribution providers and fuel suppliers.
