The "Distributed Energy Resource Interconnection Roadmap Draft" grant is a program by the U.S. Department of Energy seeking suggestions to improve and speed up the process of connecting renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and battery storage to the power grid, with the goal of enhancing grid reliability and resilience.

This funding opportunity supports innovative projects from industry, academia, and national laboratories to develop and scale up bioenergy technologies that convert renewable biomass and waste into sustainable fuels and chemicals, aiming to significantly reduce carbon emissions in transportation and industrial sectors by 2050.

**THIS IS A TWO-STEP NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY (NOFO)** **CONCEPT PAPER DUE DATE AND TIME: OCTOBER 15, 2024, AT 5:00 PM ET** The mission of the Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) is to complete the safe cleanup of the environmental legacy brought about from decades of nuclear weapons development and government-sponsored nuclear energy research. This NOFO is focused on enhancing and fostering a sustainable and diverse DOE-EM workforce STEM pipeline. Through technology curriculum and professional development and shared interest research, DOE-EM will promote the development of a nationally engaged scientific and engineering workforce to conduct basic research that will lead to future career pathways in the DOE-EM complex for underrepresented groups. **SEE THE FULL NOFO DOCUMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION**

President Bidens Inflation Reduction Act authorized the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), a historic $27 billion investment to combat the climate crisis by mobilizing financing and private capital for greenhouse gas- and air pollution-reducing projects in communities across the country. As part of this program, EPA is launching a $7 billion Solar for All competition designed to spur the deployment of residential distributed solar energy to lower energy bills for millions of Americans and catalyze transformation in markets serving low-income and disadvantaged communities. Solar for All will tackle the financial and non-financial barriers that limit the ability of low-income and disadvantaged communities across the country to benefit from the rapid growth in distributed solar capacity, thus advancing the Biden-Harris Administrations climate and environmental justice goals. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is for the $7 billion Solar for All competition. This competition will award up to 60 grants to states, territories, Tribal governments, municipalities, and eligible nonprofit recipients to expand the number of low-income and disadvantaged communities primed for distributed solar investmentenabling millions of low-income households to access affordable, resilient, and clean solar energy. Grantees will use funds to expand existing low-income solar programs or design and deploy new Solar for All programs nationwide. EPA will not fund individual projects under this competition. EPAs $7 billion Solar for All competition will help deliver on the climate and environmental justice goals of the United States. To achieve these goals, Solar for All grantees will provide subsidies and other financial assistance to residential rooftop and residential-serving community solar projects in and benefiting low-income and disadvantaged communities in addition to project-deployment technical assistance such as workforce development, community outreach, and other project-deployment support (e.g., interconnection technical assistance, siting and permitting support) to help overcome barriers to solar deployment.

This funding opportunity is designed to support research and development projects that advance clean hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, particularly for heavy-duty transportation and industrial applications, while promoting equity and community benefits.

The "Notice of Intent to Issue Fiscal Year 2025 Solar Module and Solar Hardware (SMASH) Incubator Notice of Funding Opportunity" grant aims to boost private investment in the commercialization of innovative solar photovoltaic technology, focusing on crystalline silicon and cadmium telluride module technologies, and non-module hardware technology, with funding primarily awarded to for-profit entities.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for innovative, long-duration energy storage projects that do not rely on lithium, aimed at enhancing the resilience and reliability of the energy grid.

This funding program provides financial support to small and medium-sized manufacturers in the U.S. to implement energy efficiency and emission reduction projects identified through approved assessments, particularly benefiting disadvantaged communities.
