Energy Funding Matrix

The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office has posted an Innovative Nuclear Solicitation under Title 17 to issue loan guarantees for certain eligible nuclear projects. These applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the solicitation period ends.

The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office has issued a solicitation under its Tribal Loan Guarantee authority ("TELGP") to issue direct loans and loan guarantees for certain eligible projects for energy development on Native lands, including electricity generation, transmission, and distribution facilities, energy storage, energy resource extraction, energy transportation facilities, heating and cooling facilities, cogeneration facilities, and distributed energy project portfolios.

The Manufacture of Advanced Key Energy Infrastructure Technologies (MAKE IT) Prize aims to catalyze domestic manufacturing of critical clean energy technology components, moving manufacturing facilities from planning to shovel-ready and enabling strategies for vibrant manufacturing activities in communities. The Facilites track invites U.S.-based entities with demonstrated commitment and capabilities in domestic manufacturing to complete and submit the work necessary for a shovel-ready manufacturing facility for specific clean energy technology components, including components related to hydrogen, the electric grid, long-duration energy storage, and carbon capture.

The Manufacture of Advanced Key Energy Infrastructure Technologies (MAKE IT) Prize aims to catalyze domestic manufacturing of critical clean energy technology components, moving manufacturing facilities from planning to shovel-ready and enabling strategies for vibrant manufacturing activities in communities. In the Strategies track, competitors will be asked to develop a roadmap to establishing clean energy manufacturing in their region and get a letter of commitment from an entity interested in establishing a facility in their region.

This FOA will provide funding for foundational R&D activities at domestic institutions of higher education, including Minority Serving Institutions (MSI), to advance marine energy and offshore wind technologies, enabling broader utilization of ocean renewable energy sources through the following topic areas: (1) Publicly Available Marine Energy Data Analysis & Test Platform(s) to Produce Publicly Available Data; (2) Sustainable & Scalable Offshore Wind, Marine Energy, and Aquaculture; (3) Undergraduate Senior Design and/or Research Project; and (4) Open Topic Area.

Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) will provide funding for multi-stakeholder collaborations to reduce material usage, improve installation quality and resilience of PV systems, and address handling of PV systems at the end of life. The project has 2 topic areas, providing a total of $20 million in funds.

The activities funded through this funding opportunity will mobilize public clean energy investment by addressing research and development (R&D) challenges in the conversion of various seaweeds and blends of seaweeds (with wet waste feedstocks such as waste microalgae) to low-carbon fuels and chemicals. Under this FOA, applications are sought that use anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions in the cultivation process and then convert macro and/or micro algae into low carbon products. Conversion for agricultural products such as animal feed are of particular interest.

Electric vehicles (EVs) of all kinds are here. And we want to hear about your experience, from electric scooters to electric school buses. Create a short (one- to two-minute) video showcasing your personal experience with EVs as part of EPA’s prize competition, and you may win up to $3,000.

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement to support demonstrations that de-risk technologies needed to manage variable generation; control flexible loads; and integrate energy storage, electric vehicle (EV) charging, and other facilities into the U.S. transmission and distribution grids.

This FOA will support activities to advance platform techonologies that enable flexible, scalable, and highly controllable battery manufacturing processes. Topics include: (1) Platforms for Next Generation Battery Manufacturing and (2) Smart Manufacturing Platforms for Battery Production.
