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.

Opportunity Type	Opportunity	Federal Office	Technologies	Description
Notice of Intent	Solar Module and Solar Hardware (SMASH) Incubator	DOE (EERE)	Clean Energy, Grid Modernization and Transmission, Manufacturing, Solar	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.
Notice of Intent	TCUs Planning for Clean Energy Transition NOI (DE-FOA-0003402)	DOE & Office of Indian Energy	Clean Energy	This planned FOA intends to provide financial support to TCUs to plan the transition of their campuses to clean energy. The Office of Indian Energy will only consider applications from TCUs. Under the planned FOA, the Office of Indian Energy anticipates making approximately $5 million available with awards that range from $100,000 to $250,000 for planning grants. No recipient cost share is anticipated under the planned FOA.
Notice of Intent	Tribal Clean Energy Planning and Development NOI (DE-FOA-0003400)	DOE & Office of Indian Energy	Clean Energy	This planned FOA will solicit applications for the planning, assessment, and development of clean energy projects on Tribal buildings or Tribal lands. Specifically, the Office of Indian Energy is soliciting applications from Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations, to: conduct Tribal clean energy planning, comprehensively assess the feasibility and viability of deploying clean energy technology on Tribal lands, or conduct clean energy project design and development activities for deployment on Tribal buildings or Tribal lands. Under the planned FOA, the Office of Indian Energy anticipates making approximately $25 million available with awards that range from $100,000 to $2,500,000.
Notice of Intent	Battery Materials Processing and 40207(c) Battery Manufacturing Grants Round II	Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC)	Clean Energy, Critical Minerals, Energy Storage	MESC expects to make a total of approximately $725 million of federal funding available for new awards under this funding opportunity, subject to the availability of appropriated funds. MESC anticipates making approximately 3 to 14 awards under this funding opportunity. MESC may issue one, multiple, or no awards. Individual awards may vary between $50,000,000 and $200,000,000. The estimated period of performance for each award will be approximately 24-60 months. The overall funding opportunity scope may include capital and operational support for demonstration and/or commercial facilities supporting battery-grade precursor materials, constituent materials, battery components, and cell manufacturing and recycling. Applicants should consider and identify potential downstream domestic customers of their material or product.
Notice of Intent	Energy Technology Deployment on Tribal Lands	DOE (Office of Indian Energy)	Clean Energy	Through this planned NOFO, the DOE Office of Indian Energy plans to solicit applications from Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to: (1) Install energy generating system(s) and/or energy efficiency measure(s) for Tribal Building(s) (2) Deploy community-scale energy generating system(s) or energy storage on Tribal Lands, (3) Install integrated energy system(s) for autonomous operation (independent of the traditional centralized electric power grid) to power a single or multiple Essential Tribal Buildings during emergency situations or for tribal community resilience, and (4) Power unelectrified Tribal Buildings.
