Connected Communities 2.0: Innovations to Manage Growing Transportation, Building, and Industrial Loads to the Grid
Active
Golden Field Office
The Golden Field Office of the Department of Energy (DOE-GFO) has posted a federal grant opportunity titled "Connected Communities 2.0: Innovations to Manage Growing Transportation, Building, and Industrial Loads to the Grid." This funding opportunity aims to address the increasing loads on the electric grid from transportation, industry, and buildings by providing new tools for grid users, planners, and operators. The grant focuses on two major areas: Connected Communities 2.0 and Smart Charge Management (SCM). Connected Communities 2.0 aims to implement grid edge technical measures in buildings, industry, and transportation to prepare the electric grid for new loads and improve resilience. SCM focuses on various urban, suburban, and rural use cases to build confidence in SCM as an effective approach for electric vehicles (EVs) to provide flexibility and value to the grid. The awarded projects will have three primary goals. First, they will demonstrate how smart and coordinated management of EVs and other distributed energy resources can provide grid support, reduce system costs, and improve customer technology adoption. Second, they will demonstrate approaches that enable acceptance of smart charge management and grid-edge technical measures by utilities, public utility commissions, and communities. Finally, the projects will aim to improve resilience for communities, end-use customers, and the overall grid in the face of growing loads, extreme weather events, cyber threats, and increasing reliance on the electric grid. The grant has an estimated total program funding of $65 million, with an award ceiling of $6 million and an award floor of $3 million. The deadline for submission is October 10, 2024. Eligible applicants can find the full eligibility requirements and submit their applications through the EERE eXCHANGE website.

Geothermal Resources’ Value In Implementing Decarbonization (GRID)
Active
Golden Field Office
The Golden Field Office of the Department of Energy (DOE-GFO) has posted a federal grant opportunity titled "Geothermal Resources' Value In Implementing Decarbonization (GRID)". This opportunity falls under the category of Energy and is a discretionary grant. The grant is a Cooperative Agreement and does not require cost sharing or matching. The grant has a close date of September 9, 2024, and an archive date of October 9, 2024. The purpose of this grant is to increase geothermal energy deployment through research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of innovative technologies that enhance exploration and production. The goal is to contribute to a carbon-pollution free electric sector by 2035 and a net-zero emission economy by 2050, while providing economic opportunities and environmental benefits for all Americans. The grant supports geothermal energy RD&D activities in six research areas aimed at increased access, reduced costs and improved economics, and improved education and outreach about geothermal resources. The DOE's 2023 Enhanced Geothermal ShotTM analysis suggests that with aggressive technology improvements, geothermal electricity generation could provide 90 GWe of firm, flexible power to the US electric grid by 2050. The Biden-Harris Administration's priority of building a clean and equitable energy economy and addressing the climate crisis is supported by this grant. Geothermal power offers a unique value proposition to achieve the United States' target of 100% carbon-pollution-free electricity by 2035 and a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. Geothermal power is known for being a clean, firm generation resource with a high capacity factor, 24/7 availability, and minimal land use footprint. Additionally, the combination of flexible geothermal operations and geothermal power coupled with storage technologies expands the range of services that geothermal power can provide to a decarbonizing grid. This grant aims to catalyze regional grid modeling studies that quantify the potential contribution of geothermal power in supporting an equitable transition to a future decarbonized grid and economy. The funded research and development (R&D) activities will drive innovation and the deployment of clean energy technologies, which are critical for climate protection.
