Learn about Advanced Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Grants Program through Webinars Next Week
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Economic Development Administration (EDA) are excited to announce their collaboration on a new series of webinars highlighting transformative new program resources coming online in the next few months through the implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
This first series of the webinars will focus on the Advanced Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Grants Program (BIL Section 40209), a $750,000,000 DOE program to provide small- and medium- sized manufacturers with financial assistance to build, expand, and re-equip facilities in energy communities to manufacture or recycle property for secure, resilient domestic clean energy supply chains. DOE anticipates making the first $350,000,000 in funding under this program available in the first quarter of 2023.
DOE and EDA are inviting small- and medium-sized manufacturers, universities, place-based organizations, regional, state, and local economic and community development entities, and all other interested parties to join the webinar to learn more about the program and the potential for maximizing DOE’s place-based investments for wide-ranging community and regional impact in these energy communities. While webinars will seek to bring together organizations from specific geographies each session, we invite participants from outside of those areas to join as well. In addition, a recording of a webinar will be uploaded onto the program website for accessing later.
Webinars will be held on the following dates and times (all on Eastern Time), and prospective applicants will have the opportunity to engage with place-based entities whose organizations serve the corresponding focus areas:
1. Tuesday, February 21, 11:00am – Focus on Illinois Basin Region (including Interagency Working Group (IWG) Priority Communities in Illinois, Indiana, and Western Kentucky).
