Loan Programs Office

The Loan Programs Office (LPO) provides loans and loan guarantees available to help deploy innovative clean energy, advanced transportation, and Tribal energy projects in the United States. Over the past decade, LPO has closed more than $30 billion of deals across a variety of energy sectors.

Potential applicants are encouraged to engage directly with LPO for a no-fee, no-commitment pre-application consultation to discuss their proposed project and learn about LPO's process before formally applying. During the consultations, LPO will work with you to determine whether the project is eligible for a loan or loan guarantee. To learn more about how LPO works with borrowers and how to eventually apply, visit the Application Process page.

As of September 2024, LPO has financed a $43.9 billion portfolio of innovative clean energy projects and advanced technology vehicle manufacturing facilities across the United States. LPO’s portfolio has supported job creation and is preventing harmful CO₂ pollution while enhancing American competitiveness in the global economy.

Learn more about LPO's portfolio in the FY 2023 Annual Portfolio Status Report. For information on individual projects within LPO’s portfolio, as well as projects that have exited the portfolio, visit the Portfolio Projects page.
