Building a National Laboratory Consortium to Address Regional Energy and Water Resource Challenges

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Office (H2O) is requesting national laboratory proposals to build a new consortium focused on addressing challenges to integrated energy-water resources. The selected lab consortium will work with H2O to enable planning, demonstration, and implementation of regional energy-water pilot projects that concurrently address technology, coordination, and economic needs within regions. These pilots will address major energy-water challenges, enabling high-impact and near-term improvements across energy and water sectors. This call is led by H2O’s Energy Water Resources (EWR) activity area, which enables research and testing of integrated solutions to advance power and water system performance at regional and national scales. Completed applications should be submitted as a single PDF via email to Energy-WaterResilience@doe.gov. Please see the Lab Call document for mdetails.
