DOE SPARK portfolio moves into state-level transmission implementation

DOE announced $1.9 billion in federal SPARK funding across 26 states, paired with $3.35 billion in cost share, 1,500 miles of reconductoring, nearly 21,000 miles of grid-enhancing technologies, and more than 23 GW of added transfer capability. Indiana disclosed more than $175 million for PJM-MISO seam upgrades, while Oklahoma is receiving $250 million for an Oklahoma-Colorado transmission link; award conditions, schedules, and state-by-state delivery details remain developing.
