The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) has announced up to $450 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to advance clean energy demonstration projects, including geothermal, on current and former mine lands. Through OCED’s Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land, these projects will establish how mine lands can be successfully leveraged for clean energy and pave the way for broad replication of these projects across the nation.
Concept papers are due May 11 and full applications are due August 31. Read the full funding opportunity announcement (FOA) and register for the FOA webinar on April 19.
Separate from the FOA, OCED is also offering no-cost technical assistance to inform decision making on topics related to developing clean energy projects on mine lands. This technical assistance is available for state and local governments, tribes, not-for-profit organizations, community groups, representatives from companies (private or public), and academic institutions.
