This week, the Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE), announced $300 million for projects that increase
energy affordability and promote climate resilience and $15 million for a
prize competition to help rural communities build the capacity needed
for clean energy development and deployment. These two new funding opportunities are a critical component of President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law-funded Energy Improvements in Rural or Remote Areas (ERA) program,
which aims to improve the resilience, reliability, and affordability of
energy systems in communities across the country with 10,000 or fewer
people.
Energy Improvements in Rural or Remote Areas
A
$300 million funding opportunity will award projects that increase
energy affordability and promote climate resilience with an anticipated
federal cost share ranging from $5 to $100 million per project. DOE
seeks to provide equal opportunity to qualified applicants and enable
potential replication in rural and remote communities across the nation.
The Energizing Rural Communities Prize
DOE
is also launching the Energizing Rural Communities Prize to support
capacity building to remove two of the biggest barriers to improving
energy systems in rural or remote areas: developing necessary
partnerships and securing financing. Through $15 million in funding,
this prize competition will help build partnerships by connecting
communities to government funding and a network of partners that can
help implement clean energy projects.
View the full funding opportunity and register to apply on OCED Exchange. Concept papers are due by April 14, 2023, and full applications are due by June 28, 2023.
