About this opportunity

The Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) is offering $100 million in total funding for the Energy Storage Pilot Demonstrations program. This opportunity seeks to advance non-lithium, long-duration (10+ hour discharge) energy storage technologies towards commercial viability and utility-scale deployment. The program aims to generate high-quality operational datasets, build investor and end-user confidence, and accelerate the adoption of these storage solutions. Eligible applicants include state energy offices, Indian tribes, higher education institutions, electric utilities, and private energy storage companies. Concept papers are due October 16, 2024, and full applications are due February 13, 2025, with anticipated awards in Summer 2025 for projects lasting up to 5 years.

The funding will support 5-15 cooperative agreements or grants for pilot-scale demonstrations, with individual award sizes not specified. Projects are expected to be performed at commercial scale across various U.S. locations, often at existing industrial facilities or power plants.

Synopsis

Energy Storage Pilot Demonstrations This program will fund technology demonstrations for energy storage solutions at the pilot-scale.
