Connected Communities 2.0: Innovations to Manage Growing Transportation, Building, and Industrial Loads to the Grid
From US Department of Energy (DOE) - Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
This funding opportunity is designed to address major new loads from transportation, industry, and buildings on the electric grid by providing new tools for users, planners, and operators of the electric grid. This FOA has two major topical areas: Connected Communities 2.0, focused on grid edge technical measures in buildings, industry, and transportation to prepare the electric grid for these new loads, and improve the resilience of customers and the grid; and Smart Charge Management (SCM), focused on various unique urban, suburban, and rural use cases to build confidence in SCM as an effective approach for electric vehicles (EVs) to provide flexibility and value to the electric grid.
