Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001959
The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Golden Field Office, issued this opportunity as a Request for Information (RFI) titled "RFI: National Wind Technology Center Facility and Infrastructure Investments" (Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0001959; CFDA: 81.087). It is categorized as a discretionary energy-related notice and uses an "Other" funding instrument type because it is not a grant solicitation. In practical terms, this is not a call for proposals and it is not offering awards at this stage; instead, DOE is collecting input from interested parties to help shape potential future investments and planning related to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) National Wind Technology Center (NWTC).
The main goal of the RFI is to gather feedback on the growing research and development interest in using NWTC facilities for technology development and testing. While NWTC is best known for wind energy, the RFI makes clear that DOE is also looking at needs that span renewable energy more broadly, energy storage, and grid integration. The underlying message is that demand for testing and demonstration infrastructure is increasing, and DOE wants to understand what upgrades, expansions, or facility and infrastructure investments would be most valuable to the research community and industry users who rely on these capabilities.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning any type of entity can respond (for example, companies, universities, national labs, nonprofits, state or local governments, and other stakeholders), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full RFI text on EERE Exchange. Because it is an RFI, submitting a response does not function like submitting an application for funding; it is a way to provide market and stakeholder input that DOE may use to inform future decisions, priorities, and potentially later funding opportunities.
Submission instructions are straightforward and fairly specific. Responses had to be submitted electronically by email no later than 5:00 pm Eastern Time on August 24, 2018. DOE required that the response be included as an attachment in Microsoft Word format and sent to NWTCEERERFI@ee.doe.gov. The full RFI and any official details were hosted on the EERE Exchange website (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov), which is the platform DOE uses for many of its energy efficiency and renewable energy communications, including RFIs and funding announcements.
Finally, the listing includes fields like "Award Ceiling" and "Expected Awards," but those should not be read as an indication of available funding here. "Expected Awards: 0" reinforces the central point: this notice is purely for information gathering, and DOE was not accepting applications or making awards under this RFI.Apply for DE FOA 0001959
