The most notable example is the November 2018 Camp fire in California, caused by a poorly maintained Pacific Gas & Electric power line that ultimately led to the deaths of at least 85 people. But the work is slow and imprecise. The program aims to bring new players into this high-stakes space.

But if Thomas Edison, who opened the first investor-owned power utility in New York City 140 years ago, were to tour the switchyard of a modern substation, he would still recognize the transformers, circuit breakers, switches and capacitors. To the naked eye, it might appear that the power grid hasn’t changed.

The Texas energy crisis in February 2021 reminded us of the precariousness of energy systems and their high costs of failure. This event nearly devastated the state’s power grid due to a frequency drop that put Texas four minutes and 37 seconds away from a months-long blackout.

For a 2050 net-zero future, we’ll need an electricity grid large enough that its untangled cables would be long enough to stretch all the way to the sun. To get there, the grid requires constant attention to balance the flow of electrons. In the US, for example, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced $3.5B
