The purpose of this solicitation is to deploy advanced decarbonization and/or grid support technologies at California industrial facilities to promote electrification and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced from the industrial sector. This solicitation will target technologies that have the potential to demonstrate cost-effectiveness and scalable to multiple industrial facilities with potential to increase confidence for adoption.
The program's goal is to deploy cutting-edge, emerging technologies at California industrial facilities to promote electrification and load flexibility, reduce fossil fuel and thermal energy usage, encourage thermal storage, and reduce criteria air pollutants and carbon footprints.
This program is open to existing industrial facilities, utilities, equipment manufacturers, energy service companies, project aggregators, and project developers who propose to implement projects in California’s industrial sector. Entities, facilities, and projects that are associated with the production or processing of oil and gas are ineligible.
The CEC’s INDIGO Program will assist California’s industrial facilities in achieving the following:
- Emission Reductions: Adopt electrification and other eligible decarbonization technologies listed in Section II to reduce annual GHG emissions and other criteria air emissions at industrial processing facilities.
- Electrical Grid Support: Adopt commercially available and emerging technologies needed to support grid reliability, especially during net peak periods.
- Benefits to Priority Populations: Reduce criteria air pollutants and have direct community engagement and support, especially in low income or disadvantaged communities.
This solicitation focuses on deploying industrial decarbonization technologies that are cutting-edge emerging technologies. The proposed technology(ies) and project must achieve at least one of the following goals at the industrial demonstration site(s). Additional points could be awarded for meeting multiple goals.
- Electrify some or all industrial processes
- Maximize GHG emission reductions
- Drive scalability and application of project technology to other facilities/industries/processes
- Reduce electrical demand during net peak periods
- Provide air pollution benefits to priority populations
Amount Available and Minimum/ Maximum Funding Amounts
There is up to $46,200,000 available for grants awarded under this solicitation. The minimum funding amount for each project is $4,000,000. The maximum funding amount is $10,000,0000.
