Eversource And Dartmouth Selected For DOE SPARK Program To Deploy Dynamic Grid Technology Across ~4,000 Miles Of Transmission Network; Award Could Represent $47.7M In Funding For Initiative Beginning In 2027

Eversource and Dartmouth Engineering have been selected for the U.S. Department of Energy's SPARK program to implement the Dynamic Rating Enhancement Advancements and Modernization (DREAM) initiative, which aims to enhance the electric grid across approximately 4,000 miles of transmission network. The project could secure around $47.7 million in funding, expected to commence in 2027, focusing on improving reliability and reducing costs for customers. This initiative will utilize dynamic line rating technology to provide real-time data and optimize existing infrastructure.
