Hi all!
The US Department of Energy (DOE) released the Request for Information (RFI) to help to inform the onsite energy initiative. The RFI aims to collect information on challenges and opportunities for integrating onsite clean energy technologies into the industrial sector. These technologies include-but are not limited to-solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind power, renewable fuels, geothermal, battery storage, and thermal storage.
In particular, the DOE would like to better understand:
- The current state of uptake of onsite clean energy technologies in the industrial sector
- Opportunities and barriers for onsite clean energy technology deployment
- Existing technical assistance and resources available for onsite clean energy projects
- Pathways for accelerating the adoption of onsite clean energy technologies
- Workforce development opportunities and equity considerations for programmatic planning
This RFI will help DOE develop technical assistance capabilities, resources, and tools to support the industrial sector in deploying onsite renewables and energy storage systems. Please note that you can respond to as few or as many of the questions as you wish.
Read the RFI and learn how to submit your feedback here. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to onsiteenergy@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00PM ET on September 23, 2022. Responses must be provided as a Microsoft Word (.docx) attachment to the email.
We appreciate your participation. Thank you!
