DOE is proposing to provide federal funding to U.S. Photovoltaic Manufacturing Consortium (PVMC), a multi-faceted industry-driven collaborative intended to accelerate the coordination of stakeholders and fund technology development efforts across the solar industry and facilitate the development of a strong PV manufacturing industry and supply chain in the United States.
DOE completed three previous NEPA reviews for Budget Period (BP) 1, 2 and 3 tasks (GFO-0004947-001; CX A9, B3.6, B5.1; 9/1/2011, GFO-0004947-002; CX B3.6;9/1/2011, and GFO-0004947-003; CX A9, B3.6; 8/18/14) which included research and development activities, purchase and installation of solar PV manufacturing equipment, and field testing of PV modules and mounting systems. This NEPA determination applies to BP 4 tasks only as described below. There will be a Go/No-Go decision at the end of BP 4.
