The Biden administration has announced a $3.5 billion investment to enhance the US power grid in preparation for a clean energy transition and extreme weather events. The funding will support various projects, including the addition of 35GW of wind and solar capacity through transmission lines and the establishment of over 400 microgrids to protect communities from blackouts. The International Energy Agency warns that the delayed investment in electrical grids could hinder the expansion of renewable energy and jeopardize efforts to combat climate change. Meanwhile, Australia's energy transition is facing challenges, and climate-related arrests in Vietnam have sparked calls to halt an energy transition deal.
The U.S. Department of Energy is awarding $3.46 billion in grants to modernize the electrical grid to use renewable energy and make it more resilient in the face of extreme weather
