Energy Funding Matrix

This FOA supports accelerated and responsible development of offshore renewable energy by funding research to reduce risk and improve environmental compatibility of deployments in all regions of U.S. waters including the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico. This includes research into the integrity and monitoring of mooring lines for floating offshore wind energy systems and marine energy converters, as well as reducing or avoiding noise generation and propagation during the installation of fixed-bottom offshore wind foundations.

Eligible non-profit regional intertribal organizations may request up to $300,000 annually for up to 3 years. Funding will support communication, internal organizational capacity-building, and engagement activities with the goal of building long-lasting effective working relationships between Tribal elected leaders and staff, and DOE.

The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office funds the manufacture of eligible light-duty vehicles and qualifying components under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program ("ATVM"). These applications are accepted on a rolling basis. ATVM has approximately $15.1 billion in loan guarantee authority. 

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 Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office has posted an Innovative Clean Fossil Solicitation under Title 17 to issue loan guarantees for certain eligible fossil fuel projects that reduce GHG emissions and are new technologies, including hydrogen fuel cell technology, carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration, production facilities for the manufacture of fuel-efficient vehicles, pollution control equipment, energy storage technologies, and processes for reducing emissions for industrial applications such as iron, steel, cement, and ammonia production.

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 LDES portfolio received $505 million to help advance LDES systems toward widespread commercial deployment. This portfolio provides an opportunity for nascent LDES technologies to overcome the technical and institutional barriers that exist for full-scale deployment with a focus on a range of different technology types for a diverse set of regions. The LDES portfolio includes the following programs: Long-Duration Energy Storage Pilot Program: These projects will advance a diverse set of LDES technologies towards commercial viability and utility-scale demonstrations. Long-Duration Energy Storage Demonstrations Program: These projects will help effectively demonstrate the commercial viability of innovative LDES technologies and facilitate wider commercial adoption. DOE/DOD Long-Duration Energy Storage Joint Program: These projects will demonstrate LDES technologies on government facilities through collaboration between DOE and Department of Defense (DOD).

One of three BIL-supported programs created through EPAct and administered by DOE’s Grid Deployment Office, the Maintaining and Enhancing Hydroelectricity Incentives (BIL provision 40333 and EPAct section 247) was created to maintain and enhance hydroelectric facilities to ensure generators continue to provide clean, affordable electricity, while integrating renewable energy resources such as wind and solar, improving dam safety, and reducing environmental impacts. Letters of Intent (LOI) will be accepted for through the Clean Energy Infrastructure Funding Opportunity eXCHANGE for a 45-day period starting May 8, 2023, through 5:00 p.m. ET, June 22, 2023. Full applications will be accepted for a 105-day application period starting June 23, 2023, through 5:00 p.m. ET, October 6, 2023.

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.
