Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience in Hawaii

Hawaii x 81.254 is a grid-resilience join, not a mile census

This page pairs CFDA 81.254, GRID INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT AND RESILIENCE, with Hawaii place of performance. The join is a Department of Energy grid infrastructure and resilience listing crossed with a state location field, not Hawaii’s entire energy budget and not a census of circuit miles. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $161,735,244 on 5 awards. The extract does not list utilities, circuit miles, or project names. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 5 awards equal 5 utilities or 5 islands.

Other Energy listings — weatherization, renewable R&D, or different 81.xxx titles — sit outside this total unless they also carry 81.254. Mixing those listings into $161,735,244 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and outage minutes is not causation. Reliability statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as Hawaii locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $161,735,244 in the state treasury. Oahu-versus-neighbor-island grid folklore is not an island split in this packet. Airport Improvement 20.106 in Hawaii is a DOT overlay.

5 awards behind $161.7 million

Mean obligation is about $32,347,048.80 if $161,735,244 were divided evenly across 5 lines. That ratio is not a published project cost and not a cost per mile of line. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of utilities, islands, or circuits.

Five lines are a short discretionary file. Large grid awards often post as few rows. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Grid Infrastructure Deployment And Resilience in Hawaii for the stored table. Do not convert 5 into a map of Hawaii transmission lines. The $161,735,244 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a circuit-mile census.

Questions

How much Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience funding is obligated in Hawaii?

USAspending.gov shows $161,735,244 in obligations for CFDA 81.254 with Hawaii as place of performance, across 5 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Hawaii’s full energy budget. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 81.254.

Do 5 awards mean 5 Hawaii utilities?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a utility, island, or circuit census. The packet does not name recipients. See the Hawaii 81.254 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include Hawaii renewable-energy research?

No. This page is CFDA 81.254, Grid Infrastructure Deployment And Resilience. Other Energy R&D titles use different CFDAs. Those dollars are not inside $161,735,244 unless the award also carries 81.254. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Is $162 million already spent hardening Hawaii’s grid?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $161,735,244 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Circuit miles, outage minutes, and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
