4 Oct | Critical Facility Energy Resilience (CiFER)

DOE

The Critical Facility Energy Resilience (CiFER) FOA will support large-scale deployment of innovative bi-directional electrical energy storage technologies at host sites containing critical infrastructure to support demonstration of promising technologies and validate their ability to provide resiliency benefits. The objective of this FOA is to advance innovative storage technologies from early stage R&D to widespread commercialization and demonstrate the capabilities of these technologies to support critical infrastructure or facilities that have identified resiliency needs. Projects will include performing an analysis of the resiliency benefits provided by the storage system and dissemination of the results to end user, investor, and community stakeholders to share details about the technical performance of the storage technology and a quantitative understanding of the value of resiliency it provides.

Cost sharing of 20% is required.
