The objective of this agreement is to deploy new clean energy transmission and battery storage infrastructure to improve grid reliability, accelerate renewable energy integration, displace fossil-fuel-derived power generation, and reduce energy burdens across New England. The project...

Capitol Market, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in Charleston, West Virginia, received a $1,426,000 Project Grant from 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 grant will fund the construction of a solar-powered micro-grid to power the organization's year-round, indoor-outdoor public market facility. The micro-grid will generate approximately 381 kW-DC of solar power and...

The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded the Town of Morrisville a $500,000 Project Grant under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087). The grant will allow the town to implement at least 3 additional solar arrays and a parking canopy, which are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 182 metric tons. This project supports the town's broader sustainability goals, including a 5% reduction in greenhouse...

This Cooperative Agreement, awarded 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), aims to evaluate the performance of soils, forages, cattle, and energy production from the co-location of photovoltaic (PV) systems in pastures grazed by beef cattle in Appalachia. The primary goal is to quantify the integration of beef cattle grazing and photovoltaics to diversify on-farm income in...
