Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0003218
The Department of Energy, through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and the Golden Field Office, posted a Notice of Intent (NOI) signaling that it expects to release a formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) related to "FY24 Energy and Emissions Intensive Industries." The NOI is essentially an early heads-up for potential applicants rather than the actual solicitation. It is meant to give organizations time to prepare, monitor the official posting, and plan for application development once the FOA is officially released.
A key point in the notice is that everything in the NOI can change. DOE is clear that the details are not final until the FOA is published, and EERE will not answer questions about the opportunity while it is still in NOI status. Instead, once the FOA is released, DOE will provide an official question-and-answer path for applicants. Anyone tracking this opportunity should rely on the final FOA language for definitive requirements, scope, and submission instructions.
The notice states that EERE planned to issue the FOA around December 2023, and that the FOA would be posted and managed through the EERE eXCHANGE portal (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/). Registration in EERE eXCHANGE is strongly encouraged for anyone who wants official updates, since DOE uses that system to push notifications and manage communications tied to the solicitation. When the FOA is released, DOE will accept applications only through EERE eXCHANGE, so applicants should not expect to submit through email, Grants.gov workflows, or any other channel unless the final FOA explicitly provides an alternative.
From the listing details, this is a discretionary funding opportunity in the energy funding activity category, and the anticipated award instrument is a cooperative agreement. Cooperative agreements typically mean the government expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, technical collaboration, milestone reviews, or shared decision points), which is different from a standard grant where the recipient generally operates with more independence after award. The notice also associates the opportunity with CFDA number 81.086, a DOE assistance listing commonly used for EERE financial assistance programs.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted" in the notice data, but the NOI also cautions applicants to wait for the FOA eligibility section for the actual requirements. In practice, DOE often allows a broad range of entities while still applying specific conditions (such as requiring certain team structures, cost share, domestic content considerations, or restrictions tied to entity type), so the final eligibility rules should be treated as the controlling guidance.
The summary data in the posting includes an original closing date of April 15, 2024, which likely reflects a planned application deadline window tied to the forthcoming FOA rather than a deadline for the NOI itself. The listing also shows an award ceiling value of "2" and expected awards of "0," which are typical artifacts of early notices where precise funding levels, number of awards, and maximum award sizes may not yet be finalized or populated in the system. Applicants should expect the FOA to clarify total funding available, anticipated number of selections, award size ranges, cost-share requirements, period of performance, and topic areas.
Overall, the NOI communicates three practical takeaways: the government intends to release a forthcoming FOA focused on energy and emissions intensive industries; the official solicitation, updates, and submission process will run through EERE eXCHANGE; and interested parties should wait for the FOA for final rules, eligibility requirements, and an official mechanism to ask questions.Apply for DE FOA 0003218
