On April 7, Dan Ton, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Dr. Imre Gyuk, Manager of the Energy Storage Program, and Dr. Carol Hawk, Manager of the Cybersecurity for Energy Delivery Systems Program, will be featured speakers during a webinar on OE’s resiliency work and its Resilient Electricity Delivery Infrastructure Initiative (REDI) Funding Opportunity Announcement. Hosted by the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA), the webinar will be held on Tuesday, April 7, from 1:30 PM until 3:00 PM EDT. The webinar will feature presentations by DOE officials administering the solicitation, with time for questions from the audience.

The Resilient Electricity Delivery Infrastructure Initiative FOA is focused on local and tribal governments that experienced a Presidentially Declared Major Disaster over the past 30 years. The awards will help communities deploy smart grid tools and technologies that will help decision makers and resource managers improve recovery of electricity delivery services in their communities. Approximately $3.5 million is expected to be available for new awards. The closing date for submission of applications is May 4, 2015.  More information about the REDI FOA is available on FedConnect.

The webinar is free, but registration is required.
