Description
Please
review important information below about the EERE Exchange website as it
relates to this FOA. To address and minimize the regulatory and financial risks
associated with wind power development in locations with sensitive bat species,
the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Wind and Water Power Technologies Office
(WWPTO) within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)
seeks to fund Research and Development (R&D) projects that advance the
technical readiness of bat impact mitigation and minimization technologies.
This FOA will also support the field testing and evaluation of near-commercial
bat impact mitigation technologies, which if successful, will provide
regulators and wind facility owner-operators with viable and cost effective
tools to reduce their impacts on bats and ease the regulatory & financial
uncertainty related to the development and long-term operation of wind farms in
bat habitat. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the
EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.
Applications must be submitted through the EERE Exchange website to be
considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account
