PPL Electric Utilities has been selected to receive up to $71.5 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for the Montour Grid Resilience and Advanced Reconductoring Project. The project will rebuild approximately 29.3 miles of an existing 230-kilovolt transmission corridor using advanced conductors and Distributed Acoustic Sensing technology, serving customers in the Susquehanna Valley, Greater Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania. The funding comes through the DOE's SPARK Program under the GRIP initiative; terms of the award still need to be negotiated and finalized with the DOE in coming months.
