$50 million GVEA grant for Healy power storage may land on Trump hit list

Among the renewable energy projects on an Trump hit list is a $50 million grant to back a major energy storage project in Healy for the Golden Valley Electric Association, the news site Popular Information reports.

Westinghouse says the proposal “reepresents the largest, planned single installation of long-duration energy storage in the United States and will demonstrate how the technology can firm intermittent renewable power at grid scale while also providing local and regional grid resiliency.”

“The ‘hit list’ is a collection of clean energy projects already awarded billions of dollars in grants and loans under the Inflation Reduction Act, bipartisan infrastructure law, and annual appropriations. The DOE is now seeking to cancel these projects. The list will be submitted to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Office of Management and Budget, according to two people familiar with the plan.”
