Section 600.14(f), it is awarding a grant to the Corporation for Solar Technology and Alternative Resources (CSTAR) of Las Vegas, Nevada, on the basis of acceptance of an unsolicited proposal. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office, ATTN: Kevin Thornton, P.O. Box 98518, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8518. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This award will provide financial support to CSTAR who will pursue highly leveraged renewable energy development, especially the commercialization of new technologies looking for market entry projects. [[Page 30529]] This project is to advance the competitive position of solar-power generation technologies by constructing facilities capable of generating up to 1000 megawatts of solar-generated electrical power and to create a sustaining manufacturing and technology infrastructure in southern Nevada. The mix of types of solar generation will be determined through a competitive process and will potentially include photovoltaics, dish/Stirling, solar trough, power tower, and other renewable technologies. The unsolicited proposal submitted by CSTAR is considered to be meritorious and the proposed project represents a unique and innovative idea, method, and approach which would not be eligible for financial assistance under a recent current, or planned solicitation. The project is of value to the DOE, other Federal agencies, the scientific and technological communities, and the general public through growth of a new manufacturing and technology industry in the southern Nevada area. The project period of this grant is for four and one-half years and will commence on June 15, 1995, through December 31, 1999. The total estimated cost of the award is $7,722,027 of which $4,700,000 is Federal funding and $3,022,027 non-Federal. Issued in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 22, 1995. Joseph N. Fiore, Acting Deputy Manager, DOE Nevada Operations Office. [FR Doc. 95-14207 Filed 6-8-85; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450-01-M
