The Trump administration is pouring nearly $1 billion into America’s strained electrical grid as surging demand from artificial intelligence data centers threatens to outpace available power supplies and raise blackout risks.
The Department of Energy (DOE) announced Tuesday approximately $967 million in additional funding to modernize electrical infrastructure, prevent power disruptions and strengthen grid reliability across states, territories and tribal communities. The investment is being unveiled as utilities struggle to keep pace with soaring electricity demand and aging infrastructure.
