Improving Efficiency, Reliability, and Flexibility of Coal-Based Power Plants

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to seek applications for projects to design, implement, test and validate three (3) compelling Topic Areas for strategic refurbishment/retrofit of existing coal power plants, providing a path for rapid and cost-effective restoration of stability to the nation’s bulk power system while supporting the nation’s industrial and energy security priorities by enabling coal powered systems to provide reliable, secure, and affordable electricity delivered in the near term at scale. Successful projects will lead to the implementation of transformational technologies that will significantly improve the efficiency, effectiveness, costs, emissions reductions, and environmental performance of coal and natural gas use.
