Energy Funding Matrix

Unleashing American energy has become a key focus of the current administration. Meanwhile, some opportunities from earlier pieces of legislation, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which created dozens of grant, loan and financing programs for renewable energies, are still available. These opportunities were sourced across agencies and collected in a central location to ensure you find the relevant grant, loan, or financing program that fits your organization’s energy goals. MLS and Mintz have developed a funding matrix that serves as an aggregate resource to help you leverage federal dollars in your energy efforts. This matrix is updated on a bi-weekly basis.

This NOFO seeks to address the lack of sufficient private investment that is available to successfully commercialize research and development (R&D) and research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) activities and bring innovative solar photovoltaic (PV) technology to market. Prime recipients of awards funded through this NOFO will be for-profit entities, with institutions of higher education, for-profit entities, nonprofit entities, state and local governmental entities, and federally recognized Indian Tribes as eligible subrecipients to provide technical expertise, technology know-how, and technical validation capabilities.
