Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002764
The Department of Energy (DOE), through the National Energy Technology Laboratory, issued a Notice of Intent related to an upcoming funding action connected to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The notice is titled "Notice of Intent to Issue Formula Grant Administrative and Legal Requirements (ALRD) Announcement No. DE-FOA-0002736" and it serves mainly as an advance heads-up that DOE planned to release a formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The central purpose of the forthcoming FOA is tied to DOE's implementation plan for IIJA Section 40101(d), which establishes formula grants for states and federally recognized Indian Tribes aimed at preventing power outages and improving the resilience of the electric grid.
This notice is explicitly informational rather than competitive in the normal sense. DOE stated that it was not seeking comments on the contents of the notice, which signals that this document was meant to alert eligible governments to the administrative and legal requirements framework and to prepare them for a separate, formal FOA release. Although the notice references DE-FOA-0002736 as the planned FOA title and focus, the source data also lists an opportunity number of DE-FOA-0002764, which suggests there may be internal tracking differences between the notice document and the eventual FOA identifier. Either way, the subject matter is the same: formula-based support to help government entities fund measures that reduce outage risk and strengthen grid resilience.
The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is listed as discretionary, even though the underlying IIJA Section 40101(d) program itself is described as a formula grant program. In practice, that typically means funds are allocated based on a statutory or programmatic formula rather than through a traditional competition, but recipients still must follow DOE's required administrative, legal, and compliance steps to access and manage the funds. The funding activity category is listed broadly as "Other," with the implication that the work does not fit neatly into a single standard research or development bucket and is more aligned with implementation, infrastructure hardening, and resilience upgrades.
Eligibility is limited to state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. That aligns with the statutory framing of IIJA Section 40101(d), which is designed to flow resources through governmental entities that have direct responsibility for grid planning, coordination, emergency response, and resilience investments. The listing includes a CFDA (now generally referred to as Assistance Listing) number of 81.122, which is the identifier used to track federal assistance programs and can be helpful for applicants looking up compliance requirements, audit expectations, and related program details.
The notice was created on April 27, 2022, with an original closing date of May 27, 2022. Because this is a Notice of Intent rather than the full FOA, that closing date is best understood as the window during which the notice was posted as an active listing, not necessarily a final application deadline for the actual formula grant awards. The entry lists an award ceiling of "2" and expected awards as "0," which is consistent with a notice document that is not making awards by itself. Those fields often appear in standard grant portal templates even when the posting is not yet at the stage of awarding funds.
In plain terms, the opportunity is about preparing states and Tribes for forthcoming DOE formula-grant guidance under IIJA Section 40101(d), focused on investments and actions that can prevent outages and make the electric grid more resilient. The notice does not provide application instructions or selection criteria because it is not the actual solicitation. Instead, it signals that DOE intended to issue an Administrative and Legal Requirements document and a formal FOA laying out how eligible governments would access formula funds, what compliance obligations apply, and how the program would be implemented under DOE's IIJA rollout.Apply for DE FOA 0002764
