As of October 22, 2024, the US Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) announced $196 million in grants, funded by the Biden-Harris administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to repair aging natural gas pipes. [1] This round of funding will support 60 modernization projects for gas pipelines across 20 states. The awards are funded through the Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization grant program created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The law authorized almost $1 billion in investment over 5 years to modernize community-owned gas distribution pipes, lowering energy costs for rate-payers, reducing methane pollution, and avoiding the dangers of pipeline failure. The announcement brings the total amount awarded under the grant program to almost $800 million distributed among 227 projects in underserved rural and urban communities in 29 states since the start of the program in 2022. Some of the grants awarded include: $40 million to Philadelphia Gas Works to replace high-risk cast-iron pipe, $15.7 million to City of Richmond, Virginia, to upgrade natural gas mains in its service system, $6.4 million to Toccoa Natural Gas to replace outdated gas service lines, $6.4 million to Tallahassee, Florida, to make major upgrades to the city’s high-density polyethylene pipe, and $3 million to Sterling City, Texas, to replace high-risk bare steel pipe.
