OpportunityTitle: BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW (BIL), SECTION 41006(A)(2): U.S. TIDAL ENERGY ADVANCEMENT
Description: Modification 0001: 1. The purpose of this modification is to clarify language on Page 17: WPTO&apos;s longer term vision for the site is to have this site expand to include additional devices. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) is issuing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) &#8220;Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Section 41006(a)(2): U.S. Tidal Energy Advancement&#8221; to significantly advance the state of tidal and/or current technologies in the U.S. Awards made under this FOA will be funded with funds appropriated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act[1], more commonly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Through this FOA, DOE will invest $35,000,000 under Section 41006(a)(2) to fund the first large-scale investment for the development of a pilot tidal and/or current Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&amp;D) site in the U.S., with the aim to position tidal and/or current energy generation as a key clean energy contributor ready for net-zero emissions power sector while creating good jobs. An additional $10,000,000 under Section 41006(a)(2) will be invested in a community-led tidal and/or current energy project, where balancing community energy priorities and technology innovation will accelerate tidal and current energy technologies for the generation of power to promote the resilience and economic development of coastal communities. Topic Area 1: Tidal and/or Current Site Development Topic Area 2: Community-Led Tidal and/or Current Energy Planning and Project Execution (Applications must be submitted under DE-TA2-0002845) To view the full FOA document, visit EERE Exchange at https://eere-Exchange.energy.gov.
