Redwood Coast Energy Authority directors are scheduled Sept. 24 to consider a staff request to authorize the executive director to execute the U.S. Department of Energy’s final Grid Resilience Innovation Partnership award for the Tribal Energy Resilience and Sovereignty Project.
Agenda item 11.2 also asks the board to unfreeze the contracts-and-grants manager position tied to implementation, according to the meeting packet. The packet excerpt available for review does not include the award amount, project timeline or other scope details, and it does not show whether the board ultimately approved the item.
The GRIP item is one of several action requests on the Sept. 24 agenda, which also includes other staff recommendations on office space and committee formation. The board packet identifies the GRIP item as a decision item and says the federal funding comes through the Department of Energy’s Grid Resilience Innovation Partnership program.
