The U.S. Department of Energy’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) works to provide electricity to everyone, everywhere by maintaining and investing in critical generation facilities to ensure resource adequacy and improving and expanding transmission and distribution systems. Working in strong partnership with energy sector stakeholders on a variety of grid initiatives, GDO supports the resilience of our Nation’s electric system and deployment of transmission and distribution infrastructure. GDO’s priority is to develop and deploy innovative grid modernization solutions to achieve the Administration’s clean energy goals and mitigate climate change impacts while ensuring the availability of clean, firm generation capacity, like hydropower and nuclear energy. GDO’s work within the Generation Credits, Transmission, and Grid Modernization Divisions will make sure all communities have access to reliable, affordable electricity by leveraging unique authorities to: o Improve resource adequacy by maintaining and investing in critical generation facilities o Support the development of nationally significant transmission lines o Drive transmission and distribution investment to support a resilient and modern grid
