DOE Launches $3.3 Million Prize to Support Place-Based Partnerships Focused on Creating and Expanding Access to Good Jobs in Clean Energy
Publish Date: 12/12/2024
he U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a new prize that will award over $3.3 million in prize money to new or newly formed place-based coalitions focused on creating good jobs in clean energy. The Good Jobs in Clean Energy Prize is aligned with the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda and "High Road" economic and workforce development principles.
"The growth of the clean energy economy offers abundant opportunity to put Americans to work with family-sustaining wages and room for advancement," said Alejandro Moreno, associate principal deputy assistant secretary for DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. "This new prize will support the 'boots on the ground' work that is necessary to make clean energy jobs accessible in every community across the country."
"Good jobs" are defined as providing stable pay and benefits that can support families, safe working conditions and assurance of job security, skills development and career advancement opportunities, and empowerment to contribute meaningfully to the workplace and organize without fear of retaliation.
The three-phase competition catalyzes coalition building to understand, plan for, and improve job access and job quality within the clean energy economy for target populations. Each competing coalition is required to include at least one representative from each of the following key stakeholder groups: labor organizations, clean energy employers, community-based organizations, public agencies, and education and workforce providers.
Up to 15 Phase One awardees will receive $50,000 for demonstrating robust partnerships focused on a specific clean energy employment opportunity and will be eligible to participate in Phase Two of the prize. In Phase Two, up to 10 teams will each win $100,000 for developing and implementing their Coalition Action Plans that demonstrate how the coalition will advance job quality and job access in the clean energy opportunities within their community. In Phase Three, the top three performing coalitions will receive $200,000 to $300,000 for the strength of their impact in implementing their Action Plans, and up to seven runner-up coalitions will receive $125,000.
DOE is currently accepting submissions for Phase One of the prize until Jan. 31, 2025. For more information and to apply, visit the prize website.
The American-Made Good Jobs in Clean Energy Prize is directed and administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

U.S. Department of Transportation’s Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program
Publish Date: 5/22/2024
Purpose of Request:
The California Energy Commission (CEC) in partnership with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) are seeking information to support potential medium- and heavy-duty corridor projects under the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program (CFI Program). California plans to be the lead applicant for a Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 tri-state medium- and heavy-duty (MDHD) CFI corridor proposal. In this Request for Information, the three states are seeking input regarding where sites would be most used and useful in the near term (2024-2027), site characteristics, power level and types of charging, and other factors that will better inform the states’ application to deploy publicly accessible charging infrastructure for zero-emission MDHD vehicles.
The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (JOET) recently released its National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy.1 The strategy describes a phased approach for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) charging and fueling infrastructure, establishing hubs from 2024 to 2027 and connecting those hubs from 2027 to 2030. The JOET encourages parties to align with this strategy in funding applications, and this RFI seeks to gather insights to aid in sequencing the tri-state CFI application(s) with this strategy. The vision of the three states is to identify a limited number of MDHD battery electric hubs and connections in a tri-state FY 2024 CFI application for publicly accessible battery-electric charging infrastructure. California, Oregon, and Washington retain the vision of fostering a West Coast MDHD battery-electric and hydrogen highway along Interstate 5 (I-5) (and beyond) in the coming years. The two future rounds of CFI applications may consider a focus on publicly accessible hydrogen fueling and filling in gaps for both MDHD charging and hydrogen fueling stations.
California intends to submit one tri-state application for FY 2024 for three project sites in California, two project sites in Oregon, and two project sites in Washington to achieve a publicly accessible network of hubs that reflect the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy2 along I-5. Funding awarded to the tri-state project would be competitively bid in a formal solicitation process by each state.
The FY 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity has not yet been released for CFI. The three states are doing advanced planning, and seek responses and comments to this RFI, via docket by June 10, 2024
