- Multi-port Medium Voltage DC Converter R&D for Integration of Microgrids and Clean Energy. The goal is to enable plug-and-play integration of DERs over long distances from communities to provide clean energy with high stability, reliability, and resilience. One award is expected of up to $2 million.
- Regional Initiatives to Support Microgrid Deployments within Underserved and Indigenous Communities. The focus should be on new technical assistance services and resources to help underserved and Indigenous communities in remote, rural and islanded regions build local expertise on adoption of microgrid energy systems as an effective pathway for energy transitions. Four to five awards are expected of up to $800,000.
