Energy Funding Matrix

Unleashing American energy has become a key focus of the current administration. Meanwhile, some opportunities from earlier pieces of legislation, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which created dozens of grant, loan and financing programs for renewable energies, are still available. These opportunities were sourced across agencies and collected in a central location to ensure you find the relevant grant, loan, or financing program that fits your organization’s energy goals. MLS and Mintz have developed a funding matrix that serves as an aggregate resource to help you leverage federal dollars in your energy efforts. This matrix is updated on a bi-weekly basis.

Notice of Intent Offshore Wind National and Regional Research and Development Wind Energy Technologies Office Clean Energy, Wind

The goal of this anticipated FOA is to address several major areas of need for offshore wind. Specifically, WETO intends to address offshore wind research priorities for floating offshore wind systems and fixed-bottom offshore wind foundations, develop technologies to monitor birds and bats offshore, connect domestic manufacturing and supply chain assets to the U.S. and global offshore wind development pipeline, create a university-led center of excellence for floating offshore wind and advance offshore wind turbine lighting protection. EERE planned to issue the FOA in the late spring or early summer of 2024 and no FOA has been released yet.

The intended FOA would seek applications to fill a critical void in the development of multimegawatt wind turbines for offshore deployment. Modern offshore wind turbines are the largest rotating machines ever built by humankind. Existing aerodynamic design tools and analysis methods are not well validated for machines of this scale, placing the cost of development and performance expectations from these designs at significant risk. The FOA would support the necessary data and analysis to validate tools used in the design and development of large wind turbine rotors (>10MW) and facilitate the accelerated development and deployment of cost-effective, reliable offshore wind technology.
