Deadline: Ongoing
Eligible Applicants: Technology Developers, Industry, State and Local Governments, Tribal Organizations, Community Based Organizations, National Laboratories, Universities, and Utilities
Fuel Type: Electric
Agency: Department of Energy
Description:. To advance LDES systems toward widespread commercial deployment by providing an opportunity for nascent LDES technologies to overcome the technical and institutional barriers that exist for full-scale deployment with a focus on a range of different technology types for a diverse set of regions. This investment is aligned with DOE’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge and will be critical to achieving the Department-wide Long-Duration Storage Shot goal of reducing the cost of grid-scale energy storage by 90% within the decade.
Eligible Projects: New energy storage technologies that enhance the capabilities of customers and communities to integrate grid storage more effectively. DOE defines LDES as storage systems capable of delivering electricity for 10 or more hours in duration.
