The Energy Department is set to announce a plan to spend nearly $2 billion to extract more electricity from the United States' aging and stressed power grid. This initiative was highlighted as Secretary of Energy Chris Wright spoke with media during a press conference at the annual General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria. The funding aims to optimize the existing infrastructure to improve overall power delivery across the nation.
