The Biden administration is awarding nearly $2 billion in funding to help steel the US power grid against extreme weather and to expand transmission projects.

The funding for 32 projects is being made available through the Energy Department and will span 42 states, the administration said in a statement Friday. Investments will include utilities that were wrecked by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
