U.S. Department of Energy Grant: Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies, Fiscal Year 2015

This grant opportunity, titled AFFECT 2015, aims to support Federal agencies in implementing renewable energy projects through privately financed contracts or appropriations. The Department of Energy seeks input through a Request for Information (RFI) to gather feedback for the upcoming Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The FOA will prioritize projects that leverage private and agency funds, leading to greater project impact. While the RFI is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement, it serves as a precursor to the anticipated FOA and encourages stakeholder engagement. Applications for innovative energy conservation technologies will be considered for grants to be released during Fiscal Year 2015.

Description::	Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the Request for Information (RFI) and where to submit responses can be found in the full RFI document posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. THIS RFI IS NOT A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA); THEREFORE, DOE IS NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. EERE intends to issue, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled ?Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies, Fiscal Year 2015 (AFFECT 2015).? This RFI seeks input from interested parties and stakeholders regarding the subject of the anticipated FOA and related details. If the FOA is issued, it will likely provide grants to Federal agencies for renewable energy projects that are incorporated into a privately financed performance contract, such as an Energy Savings Performance Contract or Utility Energy Service Contract, or as part of a renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Applications for renewable energy projects that are financed through appropriations will also be considered. A key merit review criterion will likely be how much private and/or agency funds are leveraged against the FEMP AFFECT grant funding. Highly leveraging outside funds thro ugh performance contracting is important, because it will lead to projects of greater impact. If the FOA is issued, it will be released at some point in Fiscal Year 2015, which began October 1, 2014 and ends September 30, 2015.
