The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $75,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255) federal grant program to Gallo Glass Co. The project will demonstrate the commercial and technical viability of hybrid electric glass melting at the Gallo facility in Modesto, CA by replacing a natural gas-powered glass furnace with a hybrid electric melter. The objective is to validate this emerging clean energy technology at commercial scale, reduce technical and financial risks, and catalyze private sector investment in transformative energy solutions. The project period runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
