(MSC News)--The State of Kansas will receive $13.3 million in funding to modernize electrical grid infrastructure.
Announcement of the investment from the U.S. Department of Energy was made Wednesday by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly who, in a release, calls the State- power grid “vital to the health and well being of Kansans,” while adding that modernization means creation of “good-paying jobs and ensuring folks across Kansas have access to clean, affordable electricity.”
The release explains that the funds, which will be administered by the Kansas Corporation Commission, “will be used to promote projects that strengthen and modernize the power grid against natural disasters while advancing projects that attract, train, and retain a skilled Kansas workforce.”
Kansas was one of nine states and three tribal nations to receive a combined total of $207.6 million in grants in this third round of funding.
