About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations seeks up to four projects through its Distributed Energy Systems Demonstrations Funding Opportunity Announcement to demonstrate that aggregated distributed energy resources can provide reliable grid services. Applicants must register through the OCED Funding Opportunity Exchange and propose projects that validate operations and value from diverse energy resources across distribution systems. Projects will demonstrate approaches to integrate renewable and distributed energy with energy networks, showing value for grids with high renewable levels and flexible loads. Awards will be made based on reliability, predictability, applicability to other grids, and support for climate and decarbonization goals, with an application deadline of April 15, 2024.
The award size for each selected project will range between $10-25 million in federal funds, requiring a minimum 50% non-federal cost share. Projects may receive up to $25 million and are expected to last up to eight years, supporting the demonstration of distributed energy systems across impacted distribution areas.

The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) is issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to support a portfolio of projects that demonstrate and validate reliable operations and financial value from a range of grid topologies with diverse energy resources and distributed energy systems (DES) ownership models.
In this FOA, OCED is seeking projects that can demonstrate that aggregated and coordinated distributed energy resources (DERs) can provide reliable, predictable grid services for a wide range of system configurations. The program goal is to build confidence that the design, control, and compensation approaches developed can be readily applied to other portions of the distribution grid and extended to other mixes of DERs, potentially extending the value of this approach to a more diverse set of communities, individuals, and entities as the distribution system continues to change.
This FOA makes available approximately $50 million in federal funds for transformative, at-scale projects within distribution systems that demonstrate approaches to integrate grid-edge renewable and distributed energy systems with broader energy networks. These projects will seek to demonstrate reliable operations and system-wide value in the context of distribution grids with high levels of variable renewable generation and flexible load assets.
This investment will allow the U.S. to develop more reliable, resilient, and cost-effective distribution grids and distributed energy systems while supporting climate action and providing benefits to communities and workers. It will also support the Biden Administration's decarbonization goals of a 50-52% reduction in GHG emissions from 2005 levels by 2030, a carbon-pollution-free power sector by 2035, and a net-zero GHG emissions economy by 2050.
This FOA has one Topic Area, which solicits proposals to demonstrate Distributed Energy Systems. The award size will be at least $10 million and no more than $25 million in federal funds. Each award is required to provide a minimum of 50% non-federal cost share. DOE will fund up to four (4) projects in this Topic Area. Projects are anticipated to have a maximum period of performance of 8 years.
