GPA General Manager John Benavente met with key FEMA officials on Feb. 7 to provide further insight into the funding request. Federal officials were on Guam the day before to meet with the governor and lieutenant governor to assess damages and recovery efforts resulting from Typhoon Mawar's arrival last year, according to GPA. "We discussed the challenges we endured because of Typhoon Mawar and how Guam needs to place its power lines underground. This will significantly reduce the threat of losing assets during future storms, minimize power outages, and improve recovery time after natural disasters," Benavente stated in the GPA release. GWA General Manager Miguel Bordallo also attended the Feb. 7 meeting, according to the release. Preliminary costs for the One Guam Comprehensive Infrastructure Resiliency Plan includes $833 million for undergrounding transmission lines and indoor substations, $813 million for critical distribution system mitigation, $730 million for other critical infrastructure projects and about $4 billion to underground the remaining distribution system. The power utility stated in its release that it remains optimistic about FEMA's support as the federal agency expressed the importance of strengthening the island's critical infrastructure. "Because of our location in the world and our history of extreme weather, we remain focused on strengthening our power system for the people of Guam. FEMA recognizes that taking this next step to place power lines underground will positively affect future recovery efforts after natural disasters. We are grateful for (FEMA) Administrator (Deanne) Criswell and her leadership team’s time and attention while on Guam. We will continue our important discussions with FEMA about how this plan best serves our community’s needs," Benavente stated in the release. GPA previously stated that Typhoon Mawar cost the utility about $36.9 million. Damage to utility infrastructure and costs for mutual aid and restoration labor made up the vast majority of GPA's costs, amounting to about $33 million. Emergency protective measures, which included pre-typhoon preparation, equipment, fuel and labor, amounted to about $6.4 million, while costs for buildings and equipment amounted to more than $100,500. GPA stated in its release that it has submitted the totals for all damages to FEMA and is working with the agency to provide documentation for eligible reimbursements, which would be up to 90% under the additional disaster assistance approved for Guam by President Joe Biden. The utility also made note of the Typhoon Mawar Reconstruction Act, or H.R. 6478, legislation introduced by Guam Del. James Moylan that aims to provide FEMA the authority to seek out and allocate funds to address infrastructure damage resulting from the storm. H.R. 6478 was introduced back in November 2023.
