What We’re Looking For When the FOA is Released Teams of strategic stakeholders Ability and willingness to share data Sets of multiple buildings Diversity of projects (geography, Multiple DER integration building type, climate, vintage, regulatory) What We Hope to Achieve • Measured impact of building as grid assets • Solutions that address diverse grid needs that can be scaled in size and in other communities • Input from occupants on impact and comfort level • Demonstrated new business models for demand flexibility and DER coordination and optimization • Online solutions center on best practices Request for Information on Connected Communities We Look Forward to Your Feedback Visit eere-exchange.energy.gov or Scan the QR Code for the Request for Information : “DE -FOA-0002291: Request for Information : Funding Opportunity Announcement 2206: “Connected Communities” U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLE ENERGY 14
Fun unding ding Opp ppor ortu tunit nity y Announc ounceme ements nts (FOAs) As) EERE uses FOAs to solicit applications in specific program areas and selects projects based on a merit review process that includes industry and technology experts. When you apply for funding, the application process may include multiple phases: • Letter of intent • Concept paper • Full application phase • Replies to reviewer comments For more information visit: https://www.energy.gov/eere/funding/funding-application-pro U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLE ENERGY 15
Pre re-FOA A Phase ase A Notice of Intent (NOI) notifies public/stakeholders of EERE’s intention to publish a new FOA. It alerts the public of a potential upcoming FOA, and allowing potential applicants additional time to assemble project teams and prepare for applying. – The Connected Communities NOI was released on February 13, 2020 A Request for Information (RFI)---is used when more information is needed to develop a FOA or FOA concept. – The Connected Communities RFI was released on March 27, 2020 The NOI and RFI are available lable on EERE RE-Excha chang nge.E .Ene nergy rgy.Go .Gov U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLE ENERGY 16
