Geothermal Resource Exploration and Definitions, GRED-III: The Department of Energy?s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is seeking financial assistance applications for the third Geothermal Resource Exploration and Definition (GRED III) Program. The regulations governing the funding opportunity for this program are contained in 10 CFR part 600. The Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP) is authorized under provisions of the Geothermal Energy Research, Development, and Demonstration Act of 1976, PL 93-410; Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Technology Competitiveness Act of 1989, P.L. 101-218; and the Energy Policy Act of 1992, P.L. 102-486, Title XII. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number for this Announcement is 81.087. In the period since enactment of the legislation, DOE has supported an ongoing program to develop commercially viable geothermal technologies. Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DOE intends to provide financial support for the exploration and definition of new geothermal resources which will ultimately lead to more electrical generation and direct-use applications from geothermal resources. Past GRED projects under GRED I and GRED II confirmed over 50 Mega Watts of geothermal resources in the western United States.
