This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) program, will focus on conducting ASHRAE Level 2 energy audits of all schools/school facilities in the portfolio and developing a comprehensive strategic plan for implementing energy improvements. The $15,000,000 award, with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026, will enable the awardee, 22 Beacon, Inc. (dba Csdc), to prioritize...
The Department of Energy awarded a $176,600,523 Cooperative Agreement to the Redwood Coast Energy Authority under the Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience (CFDA 81.254) program. The project will plan and implement three front-of-meter community microgrids owned and operated by federally recognized tribes. Additionally, the existing behind-the-meter community microgrid owned and operated by BLR will be expanded to interconnect three existing facility-scale microgrids across the...
This $142,409,585 federal Project Grant awarded by the Department of Energy under the Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience program (CFDA 81.254) will deploy innovative digital technology solutions to maximize the value of third-party distributed energy resources (DER) at the distribution level. The key objectives are to: (i) improve distribution grid visibility and autonomous controls for grid operators, (ii) aggregate and integrate DER and other grid-edge devices to provide system...
This $1,632,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity (CFDA 81.122 - Electricity Research, Development and Analysis), advances the development of standardized, modular microgrid control systems for remote Alaskan communities. The project aims to engage these communities and provide them with tools to collect and standardize data on their local energy systems and needs. This data will then be used to create model-based simulations of various...
The federal Project Grant award of $434,378, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) CFDA 10.868, is intended to fund renewable energy system (RES) projects. The grant supports agricultural producers and rural small businesses in Massachusetts to install renewable energy systems such as solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal systems, as well as implement energy efficiency improvements like...
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $130,718,468 Project Grant under the Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience (CFDA 81.254) program to the Governors Energy Office of Maine. The grant will fund a comprehensive initiative to modernize Maine's electric grid and enable greater deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs) and renewable energy. Key project components include: Implementing active network management (ANM) and flexible interconnection technologies to reduce DER project...
This $19,994,487 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117) aims to support the implementation and enforcement of building performance standards (BPS) in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts. The primary objectives are to provide building-specific decarbonization plans, technical support for compliance, and capacity building for...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $2,485,114.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087). The award will fund a project at Princeton University to investigate community benefit mechanisms (CBMs) that can address concerns and increase community acceptance of large-scale solar energy projects in the United States. The project aims to identify key...
