DOE Awards $40.2M Grant to Puget Sound Energy for Grid Modernization
What happened
Puget Sound Energy was awarded approximately $40.2 million from the U.S. Department of Energy for Project PULSE, a grant issued under the DOE's SPARK program. This funding, which is matched by $40.2 million in Puget Sound Energy investment, represents a total investment of about $80.4 million. The project will use advanced reconductoring and grid-monitoring technology to boost capacity and reliability across Western Washington.

Why it matters
The project is designed to relieve capacity constraints in the Puget Sound region, which are caused by rising electricity demand. By strengthening the electric transmission system, the initiative aims to deliver more reliable power and move more electricity across existing lines.
