Office of Electricity Announces $27 Million for Energy Storage Innovation

The Office of Electricity is preparing to launch two new funding pathways for energy storage innovation. Grid-scale energy storage is a critical element driving and supporting the evolution of the electricity system. The following releases would open to a combined $27 million for energy storage innovations that push emerging technology from the lab into the field:

Storage Innovations (SI) 2030: Liftoff Request for Information

This anticipated Funding Opportunity Announcement plans to build upon the strategic efforts initiated in the other three pillars of SI 2030 (i.e., Framework, Prize, and Flight Paths), by fostering diverse partnerships of companies within one or several storage technology industries to tackle pre-competitive research and development (R&D) challenges. OE seeks comments regarding all elements of the proposed approach by April 3, 2023. Please review the Request for Information for how to respond and stay updated on next steps.

Energy Storage Demonstration and Validation Notice of Intent

This anticipated Funding Opportunity Announcement would pursue a competitive program to facilitate the large-scale commercial development and deployment of grid-scale lithium and redox-flow batteries.
