About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "Energy Improvements in Rural or Remote Areas FY24." The goals of this funding opportunity are to deliver measurable benefits to rural and remote communities through clean energy projects that lower energy costs, improve energy access and resilience, increase economic opportunity, and/or reduce environmental harm. Eligible applicants include Tribal governments, state/local governments, non-profits, for-profits, and others. Priority will be given to projects benefiting disadvantaged, low-income, and underserved communities, with a focus on strong local engagement and replicability to other rural/remote areas. The NOFO is expected to be released around September 2024, with award selections announced in mid-to-late 2025.
The anticipated program scope includes up to $400 million in DOE funding for 16-69 projects ranging from $2-$50 million, with 5-50% minimum non-federal cost share required. The projects are expected to be performed at commercial scale across various locations in the United States, with a focus on delivering economic benefits to the local communities.
Synopsis
The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) entitled "Energy Improvements in Rural or Remote Areas FY24." The goals of this investment area are to deliver measurable and sustained benefits to people who live in rural or remote areas by funding replicable clean energy projects that lower energy costs, improve energy access and resilience, increase economic opportunity, and/or reduce environmental harm; demonstrate rural or remote energy system approaches using climate-resilient technologies, business structures that promote economic resilience, accessible and appropriate financing mechanisms, and/or best practices in community leadership and engagement, and workforce development; and build clean energy knowledge, capacity, and self-reliance in rural and remote parts of America. Funding will support materials, equipment, time, labor, and other resources to build clean energy projects in rural or remote communities and run other allowable activities as proposed (e.g., collaboration, outreach, and engagement with Tribes and stakeholders, or workforce development programs). This Notice of Intent (NOI or Notice) describes a preliminary plan that will evolve during the Notice of Funding Opportunity development process.
