What this opportunity is
The Department of Energy is soliciting proposals for Community Microgrid Assistance, focusing on existing microgrid systems in Colorado. This opportunity is open to all business types, as there is no set-aside. Interested parties should prepare detailed information about their microgrid systems, including specifications on generation sources, current system components, and performance metrics. As this is a solicitation notice, businesses should track the opportunity closely for submission requirements and deadlines.
