Grant Description: Area of Interest 2 - Utility-Scale Clean Energy Capacity Under this Area of Interest, EERE is seeking applications that create the framework, regulatory environment and/or policy that, when fully implemented, enables utility-scale capacity and related transmission. This may be accomplished through renewable energy and/or comparable demand-side reductions. Utility scale, for purposes of this FOA, will mean capacity equivalent to a gigawatt or greater. Applications must address how the policy framework will enable at least one (1) gigawatt of capacity when fully implemented. Applications that cumulatively enable utility-scale capacity, such as transmission strategies and distributed generation, are eligible for this FOA. EERE is seeking applications with innovative approaches to enable implementation of utility-scale clean energy capacity in the market. Applications that include legislation, policies, programs and strategies from states will be considered; strategies and approaches applicable to the regional or national levels, as well as partnerships with governments, utilities, Regional Transmission Organizations, and Independent System Operators are also encouraged. EERE envisions that applications will include innovative ideas for removing barriers and developing incentives, as well as strategies designed to take advantage of fiscal and financial support mechanisms that could increase liquidity and lower the cost of money. Innovative approaches should exploit renewable portfolio standards (RPS), regional transmission siting protocols, power purchase agreements (PPA) and/or renewable energy certificates (REC) or policy measures. Similarly, the leveraged use of renewable energy credits, energy efficiency white tags and carbon offsets through aggregation to serve as a substantial source of capital could also yield substantial increases in renewable and efficiency-based capacity. Applications must include a description of the clean energy technology or technologies involved. Applications must include a comparison of the current clean energy capacity in the state to the clean energy capacity after the proposed legislation, policy, program and/or strategy is implemented. Barriers preventing the growth of the clean energy technology and the implementation strategy proposed to remove those barriers must be identified. The steps required to successfully reach utility-scale capacity, as well as the roles and responsibilities of the project partners must be clearly defined. If applicable, applications should also describe existing policies that could be synergized to help reach the goal of utility-scale capacity. Applications should address the likelihood of the proposed approach to be self-sustaining as well as replicable in other municipalities, states or regions, or at the national level. Multi-state applications are welcome.
