About this program
The Department of Energy funds energy efficiency and renewable energy technology deployment, demonstration, and commercialization under Assistance Listing 81.129, with the most recent grant award dated January 19, 2011—over fifteen years ago.
This program is not currently active. The portfolio contains only five Project Grant awards totaling $7.6 million in federal obligations (combined federal and non-federal dollars: $12.7 million), with the last award issued in early 2011. No grant opportunities have been posted recently; the source contains no open solicitation or upcoming deadline. Award activity ended after 2011, making this program unsuitable for current pursuit.
The funded activities span energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy installations, building certifications, and advanced biofuel production. Recent awards supported energy audits and efficiency retrofits for the Township of Branchburg, New Jersey ($4 million); a pre-treatment facility for cellulosic ethanol production ($3.1 million); LEED certification for Atlanta International Terminal ($2.3 million); green roof projects in Greene County ($1.9 million); and energy-efficient building upgrades at Lake Land College in Illinois ($1.3 million). The assistance type was exclusively Project Grants.
The Department of Energy was the sole funding source for all five awards. Typical award magnitudes ranged from $1.3 million to $4 million. The program authorized funding across biomass, building technologies, geothermal, hydrogen and fuel cells, industrial technologies, solar, vehicle technologies, weatherization, and wind and hydropower activities. Applicants were required to register with FedConnect, submit via Grants.gov, and comply with audit requirements under OMB Circular No. A-133, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, EPACT, and ARRA 2009. Unsuccessful applicants were entitled to a debriefing from DOE program officials.
With no activity since January 2011 and no recent opportunities posted, this Assistance Listing does not represent a current funding avenue.
