DOE offers $65M funding opportunity to improve electric system through building efficiency, grid resilience
16 Oct 2020
Through a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) known as Connected Communities, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) put up more than $65 million this week to expand the efficiency of grid-interactive building communities throughout the country.
The department says that connected communities would utilize the newest breakthroughs, such as modern sensors, controls, and analytics, to better manage and deploy grid-scale energy efficiency and distributed energy resources among homes and commercial buildings. By tapping technologies that allow energy-efficient buildings to communicate with one another and the grid, emissions could be reduced, and grid flexibility increased.
