About this opportunity

The Department of Energy's Office of Electricity is seeking input through a Request for Information (RFI) to inform planning for its Applied Grid Transformation Solutions (AGTS) program. The AGTS program focuses on facilitating the adoption of innovative grid technologies that enhance the reliability, resilience, security, and affordability of the nation's electricity delivery infrastructure. This RFI is not a funding opportunity, but rather a request for feedback across three main areas: general questions about de-risking innovative grid technologies, input on U.S. Electric Grid Test Beds and their capabilities, and information about scaling demonstration projects. Responses to the 21 specific questions must be submitted electronically to DOE-OE-AGT@hq.doe.gov by February 28, 2025 at 8:00 PM ET, with a 15-page limit using 12-point font and 1-inch margins.

While this RFI is not a funding opportunity, the information gathered will inform future program planning for grid modernization initiatives under the Electricity Research, Development and Analysis federal grant program (CFDA 81.122), which is administered by the Department of Energy National Energy Technology Lab. Recent federal grant awards under this program have ranged from $30,000 to over $17 million, with project durations typically between 1-5 years.

Synopsis

The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain input to inform planning of the Office of Electricity's Applied Grid Transformation Solutions (AGTS) program. The AGTS program was initiated in 2023 with a focus on facilitating the adoption of innovative grid technologies that broaden the reliability, resilience, security, and affordability of the Nation's electricity delivery infrastructure as it is being transformed to meet a more dynamic, decentralized, and complex operating environment, including new and emerging threats and challenges. This is solely a request for information and is not a Notice of Funding Opportunity. The Department of Energy is not accepting applications to this Request for Information.
