(WASHINGTON, DC) - - To better understand the impact of federal funding freezes on APPA members, APPA asks members to let the association know if a federal funding award has been “frozen” or delayed for members. In addition, APPA is seeking details on the award stage a member is in (i.e., a grant has been announced, a grant agreement and/or contract has been signed, a member is awaiting reimbursement, etc.), and the program under which a grant has been received (i.e., the DOE GRIP Program). Please provide these details to APPA’s David Hadley at: dhadley@publicpower.org. Additionally, if APPA members have been affected by these freezes, APPA is strongly encouraging members to tell their congressional delegations about the impact the freeze is or will have on their communities, customers, and the utility in question.
