The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Renewable Energy (DAS-RE) is a key member of the EERE senior leadership team. The DAS-RE serves as the most senior official within EERE focused exclusively on renewable power and energy programs, policies, and initiatives that aim to decarbonize the electric power grid and offer more choices for affordable, reliable, and clean energy. If you are a dynamic and creative executive, apply to be our DAS-RE by Feb. 19, 2024.
Undergraduate students from minority serving institutions who are interested in interning at companies with EERE’s Solar Energy Technologies Office for 10 weeks this summer should apply to the SMILE program by Feb. 1, 2024.
The Faculty-Applied Clean Energy Sciences (FACES) Program is a new research opportunity where participants will spend 10 weeks over the summer working with researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to develop education modules related to clean energy science. Interested faculty from minority-serving institutions should apply by Feb. 15, 2024.
Small Innovative Projects in Solar (SIPS) is an annual funding opportunity designed to encourage early-career researchers to apply for solar funding from EERE. The 2024 SIPS opportunity will award $6.5 million for seedling research and development projects that focus on innovative and novel ideas in photovoltaics and concentrating solar-thermal power that are riskier than research ideas based on established technologies. Researchers should apply by March 6, 2024.

About 85%–90% of wind turbine materials can be commercially recycled. The Wind Turbine Materials Recycling Prize—a $5.1 million, two-phase competition funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—helps develop a cost-effective and sustainable recycling industry for key wind turbine materials not currently recycled commercially. This week, DOE selected 20 teams from 15 states as winners of the first phase of the prize for their innovative ideas to enhance wind material recycling technologies and processes.

Securing the domestic battery supply chain and developing innovative solutions to electrify the transportation sector are crucial steps in achieving a clean energy future. That’s why DOE announced more than $131 million for projects to advance research and development in electric vehicle (EV) batteries and charging systems, including a new consortium to address critical priorities for the next phase of widescale EV commercialization.
The number of EVs on America’s roads has more than quadrupled since President Biden took office. The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation will continue that momentum as it funds 30 new projects to boost EV charging performance, resiliency, and reliability. Read more about how these projects will support equitable access to clean transportation solutions and grow the clean energy workforce.

EERE’s Wind Energy Technologies Office wants your input on research needs to support the growth of the domestic offshore wind industry, including supply chain expansion in currently underutilized U.S. regions. If you have feedback about floating offshore wind platforms, technology for bat and bird research, offshore wind needs in the Great Lakes region, and more, submit your response by Feb. 20, 2024.
The Biden-Harris Administration has been actively working to tackle access to renewable energy in low-income and disadvantaged communities. New federal guidance from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Community Services may make community solar much easier to access in these communities through its Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Historically, most state LIHEAP programs have not allowed LIHEAP funds to cover community solar subscription fees. Now, the new guidance encourages states to allow LIHEAP recipients to use their assistance funds for community solar subscriptions to reduce their overall energy costs.
