Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002907
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Advanced Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Grant Program (Section 40209), released by the Department of Energy through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC), is a discretionary funding opportunity (FOA No. DE-FOA-0002907) aimed at strengthening domestic manufacturing and recycling capacity tied to advanced energy technologies. The program is structured to help small- and medium-sized manufacturing firms invest in industrial facilities located in eligible energy communities, with the practical goal of building a stronger U.S. supply chain for advanced energy property while supporting regional economic transition in communities historically tied to energy production.
The central purpose of the opportunity is to fund capital and facility-focused projects that either create new manufacturing or recycling capability or significantly upgrade existing capability. The FOA supports efforts to establish new facilities, re-equip facilities with new machinery or process equipment, or expand existing plants so they can produce or recycle advanced energy property. In other words, this is not a basic research program; it is designed to move tangible, facility-level manufacturing and recycling projects forward, particularly in places designated as energy communities under the eligibility rules referenced in the FOA.
The funding is offered through grants and/or cooperative agreements, which means some awards may involve more active federal involvement (as is typical with cooperative agreements) depending on the project and DOE requirements. The activity category is Energy and the CFDA number listed is 81.253. While the eligibility line item is summarized as "Others," the intent in the narrative is clear that the program is oriented toward small- and medium-sized manufacturing firms, with full eligibility details and definitions provided in the FOA itself (including the specific meaning of eligible energy communities and any organizational, size, or facility requirements).
The FOA is organized into two topic areas that reflect the two main pathways for facility investment. Topic Area 1 focuses on building a new manufacturing or recycling facility for the production or recycling of advanced energy property. This topic area is meant for applicants that are creating new industrial capacity in an eligible energy community, such as constructing a new plant or standing up a new recycling operation that did not previously exist at that site. Topic Area 2 focuses on re-equipping or expanding an existing manufacturing or recycling facility so it can produce or recycle advanced energy property. This topic area fits projects where a company already has an industrial footprint and needs funding to modernize, convert, or scale it, such as adding production lines, upgrading equipment, or expanding floor space and related infrastructure to support advanced energy manufacturing or recycling.
In terms of award scale and competitiveness, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of up to $100,000,000 and an expected total of about 35 awards, indicating DOE anticipated a portfolio of multiple projects, potentially ranging from mid-sized upgrades to very large facility builds or expansions. The funding opportunity was created on February 13, 2023, with an original application deadline of June 8, 2023, which signals that this specific FOA round is tied to that historical submission window, though similar programs may re-open under future rounds or related DOE initiatives.
Overall, this grant program is designed to accelerate on-the-ground manufacturing and recycling projects that support advanced energy deployment, while directing investment into eligible energy communities. It supports two common real-world industry needs: launching new manufacturing or recycling plants (Topic Area 1) and upgrading or scaling existing plants (Topic Area 2), with the broader policy intent of improving U.S. industrial competitiveness, resilience of advanced energy supply chains, and local economic revitalization in communities undergoing energy-sector transition.Apply for DE FOA 0002907
