Funding will support eight projects across 18 states, adding nearly 13 gigawatts of capacity.
The initiative includes over 600 miles of new transmission lines and upgrades to 400 miles of existing lines.
Projects aim to provide reliable electricity to 56 million homes and businesses.
Key projects include new transmission lines in New York and Montana, and microgrids for Northern California tribes.
The investment is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships program.
