The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) entitled “Energy Storage Pilot Demonstrations”. The goal of this NOFO is to support pilot-scale demonstrations for non-lithium, long duration energy storage solutions that advance technical maturity, reduce uncertainty in cost and performance characteristics, generate operational datasets, and increase investor and end-user confidence in technical and commercial maturation pathways and timelines. OCED anticipates that funding will support technology maturation activities including design for manufacturability, pilot system development, fabrication and installation, operational testing and validation, and commercial scale system design and supply chain maturation.
This Notice of Intent (NOI or Notice) describes a preliminary plan that will evolve during the Funding Opportunity development process.
