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.
| Opportunity Type | Opportunity | Federal Office | Technologies | Description | Submission Deadline | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FOA fixed deadline | Beyond the Meter: Energy Storage Integration | American-Made Program | Energy Storage | This is a prize, not a grant. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity is funding a two-phase competition to foster the development of next-generation energy-storage-enabled solutions. The total prize pool is $3,400,000 in cash prizes and $800,000 in vouchers to use at a DOE national laboratory. This prize will highlight innovative solutions that enhance affordability through integration and interoperability of BTM grid-edge technology and other grid-edge resources. By strategically deploying energy storage on consumers’ premises, the management of BTM assets can be optimized, facilitating the transition to a more reliable and affordable energy future. The prize includes two distinct tracks, one focused on residential solutions and the other focused on commercial and industrial solutions. For both tracks, the competition encourages companies to form coalitions to demonstrate products and strategic plans for integrating and managing BTM grid-edge technologies alongside BTM ESS while reducing transaction costs. DOE is seeking solutions that are fully-integrated BTM before connecting or interacting with the grid-edge technologies. |
