America’s Old Electrical Grid

The North American Electrical Grid is becoming increasingly vulnerable to outages and Americans are experiencing more frequent and severe weather events. Much of the United State’s electric grid was built in the 1960s and 1970s and while the system has been improved with automation and some emerging technologies, our aging infrastructure is struggling to meet our demands. More Americans are securing their homes with Backup Electrical Generators to keep their family and loved ones safe during severe weather and electrical blackouts.

High Electrical Demands

On Oct. 18th, 2023, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced a 3.5 billion dollar plan to strengthen electric grids and increase reliability across the United States, all while improving climate resilience. This 3.5 billion dollar budget is part of another 8 billion in federal and private investments that make up the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) Program.
