DOE is seeking to support projects that cost-effectively increase resiliency and reliability, increase interregional transmission capacity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote equitable economic growth and energy justice. It is critical that the projects not only contribute to these goals, but also: (1) support the IIJA objectives to invest in America’s workforce by including specific elements to accelerate job growth and job quality; and (2) advance the Administration’s equity, environmental, and energy justice priorities, including the Justice40 Initiative. In addition, it is necessary that projects supported by these investments will have minimal negative impacts on communities with environmental justice concerns.
DOE invites applications for projects in both Regional Transmission Organization/Independent System Operator (RTO/ISO) regions and non-RTO/ISO regions. In addition, DOE seeks applications from developers with a variety of business models, including incumbent transmission owners and merchant transmission developers. DOE’s experience reviewing applications and making selections under the previous Request for Proposals (described below) demonstrated that projects in a variety of regions, pursuing a variety of business models, can satisfy the TFP criteria.
Note that DOE offers other support to facilitate transmission deployment in addition to the TFP. Interested persons are encouraged to consult DOE’s web site or to contact the Grid Deployment Office at tranmission@hq.doe.gov for more information on programs administered by DOE, as well as questions concerning the ability to pair different funding opportunities offered by DOE.
