The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) today opened applications for up to $400 million to spur innovative, community-focused, clean energy solutions for rural and remote communities across the United States. This funding—made possible by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—will help rural and remote communities demonstrate replicable projects, ultimately encouraging widespread adoption and helping to lower energy costs, support local economic development, and enhance energy resiliency.
