Grant Opportunity Analysis

The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Domestic Turbine Manufacturing Needs," aimed at gathering insights from gas turbine manufacturers and suppliers regarding the domestic supply chain for gas turbines. The RFI seeks to identify constraints affecting manufacturing capabilities, explore technologies to enhance throughput, and address non-technical supply chain issues, focusing on specific manufacturing methods such as forging, casting, and machining. This initiative is crucial for meeting the increasing electricity demand in the U.S. and will inform future program strategies, although it does not represent a funding opportunity. Interested parties must submit their responses electronically to TurbineManufacturingRFI@netl.doe.gov by 5:00 PM ET on January 30, 2026, with a subject line indicating "U.S. Turbine Manufacturing RFI Response."

AI Summary
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy issued a Request for Information (RFI) (DE-FOA-0003604) titled “Domestic Turbine Manufacturing Needs,” due January 30, 2026. The RFI seeks input from gas turbine manufacturers, suppliers, and material suppliers to address constraints in the domestic supply chain for gas turbines, which are critical for meeting the nation's rising electricity demand. The DOE is particularly interested in factors limiting manufacturing capabilities, technologies to improve throughput, and non-technical supply chain issues. The RFI covers specific manufacturing methods (e.g., forging, casting, machining) and poses questions across four categories: Manufacturing Technology, Workforce, Sub-supplier, and Materials Constraints. This RFI is for information gathering only and is not a funding opportunity. Responses will inform future program strategies.
