The Industrial Assessment Center Program advances a clean energy and manufacturing workforce that represents the diversity of America, and a reinvigorated manufacturing base prepared to lead the global clean energy transition.
The Industrial Assessment Centers (IAC) Implementation Grant Program (Implementation Grant Program) is designed to provide up to $400 million in grants, funded by section 40521 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) to implement recommendations made in Industrial Assessment Center or Combined Heat and Power/Onsite-Energy Technical Assistance Partnership assessments since 2018 and recommendations made in assessments that DOE has deemed equivalent may be eligible (more information coming soon).
The IAC implementation grants will bolster the U.S. manufacturing base by making grants available to support projects that modernize SMMs’ facilities with improved energy and material efficiency, enhanced cybersecurity, and increased use of smart and advanced manufacturing technologies to reduce waste and pollution, while increasing productivity.
