SMUD’s $1.2 million Resilient Grid Initiative will install high-voltage switches and increase the carrying capacity of the system.
“As our region faces more extreme weather events and potential disruptions, we must make sure the electricity grid is able to meet any challenge posed to it. These federal and local funds will ensure that SMUD has a reliable and resilient electric grid that everyone in Sacramento can depend on,” said Congresswoman Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento.
SMUD said it will use “advanced real-time remote monitoring switches and fault indicators that include voltage monitoring and control for distributed generation technologies like solar.”
