The U.S. DOE's Office of Electricity announced GridFM 2.0, an $11.5M research project led by Brookhaven National Laboratory under the Genesis Mission, building foundation models for electric grid planning. Targets: evaluate 1 billion grid scenarios in 24 hours, boost planning throughput >10,000x, and speed key grid calculations >1,000x vs. traditional approaches. The poster cautions these are research targets, not measured utility results — the real test is operational impact.
