    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Department of the Navy, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify contractor-owned and operated nuclear power sites that can support energy resilience for naval installations. The RFI aims to gather input on privately-funded concepts that ensure continuous operational capability during grid outages, adversary attacks, extreme weather events, and other disruptions, while also enhancing regional grid capacity and resilience. This initiative is critical for achieving the Navy's goal of 99.9% energy reliability and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with seven specific installations in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina identified as initial candidates. Responses to the RFI are due by November 7, 2024, and interested parties can contact NAVFAC HQ at NAVFACHQ-RE@us.navy.mil or Lita Staskey at lita.m.staskey.civ@us.navy.mil for further information.

    RFI- Nuclear Identification of Potential Shore Installation Power Sites SAM.gov.pdf
    The Department of the Navy (DON) issued a Request for Information (RFI) aimed at identifying interest from developers and utilities in constructing commercial-scale clean energy generation on DON lands. This initiative supports the DON's commitment to energy resilience, efficiency, and decarbonization. The RFI seeks industry input on technologies and business models, particularly exploring shore-based nuclear technologies to ensure energy security for naval installations amidst potential disruptions such as extreme weather and cyberattacks. The DON prioritizes achieving a minimum of 99.9% energy reliability and aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Seven Navy and Marine Corps installations are identified as initial candidates for this project. The DON encourages creative solutions for ensuring power reliability during emergencies, alongside proposals for managing nuclear fuel in compliance with regulations. Key objectives include enhancing local community energy resilience, advancing nuclear reactor technologies, overcoming policy and regulatory challenges, and fostering partnerships to drive innovation. Responses to the RFI are required by November 7, 2024, and will inform the DON's future strategy for deploying innovative energy solutions to bolster installation resilience.

    Active
    Dept Of Defense
    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NAVAL POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS (Combined Synopsis/Solicitation DEPT OF DEFENSE DEPT OF THE NAVY) The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy, is seeking research and development proposals for naval power and energy systems. These systems are crucial for providing power and energy to Navy ships, both current and future, at various levels including major components, subsystems, and the overall system. The goal is to advance and improve shipboard electric power and energy systems. The Electric Ships Office, part of the Program Executive Office Ships, is leading this effort on behalf of the Navy. They are interested in long and short term research and development projects that have the potential to enhance ship power systems. The focus areas include shipboard power generation, electric propulsion, power conversion, energy storage, distribution and control, power quality, continuity, and system stability. The Navy is particularly interested in technologies that can improve energy efficiency, power density, and carbon footprint compared to existing propulsion and power system technologies. They are also looking for advancements in energy storage, power conversion, power distribution, prime movers (including power generation), rotating machines (including generators and propulsion motors), cooling and thermal management, power controls, and system interplay, interfacing, and integration. Proposals must be submitted in the form of White Papers, and awards may take the form of contracts, cooperative agreements, or other transaction agreements. The Navy reserves the right to select proposals and award contracts based on the evaluation criteria specified in the announcement. For more information and to submit White Papers, interested parties can contact Joseph Tannenbaum at joseph.tannenbaum@navy.mil or John Anderson at john.anderson6@navy.mil. This is a great opportunity for researchers and developers to contribute to the advancement of naval power and energy systems, ultimately enhancing the capabilities of Navy ships.
