The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) titled "Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) 2016" this April or May.
Note: FOA applications will not be accepted through the notice of intent.
The FOA will provide grants to federal agencies for establishing a program that provides an effective agency process to use Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) ENABLE and subsequently applying the process to identified energy-savings projects. ESPC ENABLE is a streamlined ESPC for small sites that is limited to five types of energy conservation measures:
- Lighting
- Water
- Controls for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
- Replacement of HVAC equipment
- Solar photovoltaics.
EERE will issue the FOA via the EERE Exchange website. If applicants wish to receive official notifications and information from EERE regarding this FOA, they should register in EERE Exchange. When the FOA is released, applications will be accepted only through EERE Exchange.
For more information, including application submission steps, see the notice of intent.
