DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Request for Information; Assisting Federal Facilities With Energy
Conservation Technologies, Fiscal Year 2015
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Request for Information (RFI) and public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) today invites public comment on
its Request for Information (RFI) number DE-FOA-0001203 regarding
``Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies
Fiscal Year 2015.'' The RFI document is posted at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/.
EERE intends to issue, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), a Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) entitled ``Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy
Conservation Technologies Fiscal Year 2015 (AFFECT 2015).'' This RFI
seeks input from interested parties and stakeholders regarding the
subject of the anticipated FOA and related details. If the FOA is
issued, it will likely provide grants to Federal agencies for renewable
energy projects that are incorporated into a privately financed
performance contract, such as an Energy Savings Performance Contract or
Utility Energy Service Contract, or as part of a renewable energy Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA). Applications for renewable energy projects
that are financed through appropriations will also be considered. If
the FOA is issued, it will be released at some point in Fiscal Year
2015, which began October 1, 2014 and ends September 30, 2015.
This is solely a Request for Information and not a Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications.
DATES: Responses to the RFI must be received by November 13, 2014.
ADDRESSES: The complete RFI document is located at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Responses to the RFI should be sent
via email or email attachment to [email protected]. Further
instruction can be found in the RFI document posted on EERE Exchange.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This RFI is not a Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA); therefore, EERE is not accepting applications at
this time. EERE may issue a FOA in the future based on or related to
the content and responses to this RFI; however, EERE may also elect not
to issue a FOA. There is no guarantee that a FOA will be issued as a
result of this RFI. Responding to this RFI does not provide any
advantage or disadvantage to potential applicants if EERE chooses to
issue a FOA regarding the subject matter. Final details, including the
anticipated award size, quantity, and timing of EERE funded awards,
will be subject to Congressional appropriations and direction.
Any information obtained as a result of this RFI is intended to be
used by the Government on a non-attribution basis for planning and
strategy development; this RFI does not constitute a formal
solicitation for proposals or abstracts. Your response to this notice
will be treated as information only. EERE will review and consider all
responses in its formulation of program strategies for the identified
materials of interest that are the subject of this request. EERE will
not provide reimbursement for costs incurred in responding to this RFI.
Respondents are advised that EERE is under no obligation to acknowledge
receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents
with respect to any information submitted under this RFI. Responses to
