Description:

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), on behalf of the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office (EERE). The intent of this RFI is to obtain public input regarding research priorities, partnership interest, the solicitation process, and structure of a potential DOE Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to fund activities to reduce the impacts of wind energy facilities on bat populations in accordance with section 41007(b)(1) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Specifically, this RFI seeks input on the following topics:

• The current state of bat deterrent technologies and market interest

• Research and development activities necessary to advance deterrent technologies

• Barriers to deployment of deterrents

• Conditions under which technology vendors and wind energy operators would participate in field validation studies

• Solicitation Process, FOA structure, and Implementation Strategy

• Employment: Expanding Union Jobs and Effective Workforce Development

• Equity, Environmental and Energy Justice (EEEJ) Priorities

• Market Adoption and Industry/Sector Sustainability

Information collected from this RFI will be used by DOE for planning purposes to develop a potential FOA. The information collected will not be published.

Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to WETOBATRFI@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (ET) on 09/16/2022. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. EERE will not pay for information provided under this RFI and no project will be supported as a result of this RFI. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance or financial incentives. EERE may or may not issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) based on consideration of the input received from this RFI.
