Title 17 Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR) Financing | Department of Energy Title 17 Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR) Financing Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR) Financing Overview The Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR) Program (Section 1706) guarantees loans to projects that retool, repower, repurpose, or replace energy infrastructure that has ceased operations or enable operating energy infrastructure to run more cleanly.
Through the Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR) category of the Title 17 Energy Financing Program , LPO can finance projects that retool, repower, repurpose, or replace energy infrastructure that has ceased operations or enable operating energy infrastructure to avoid, reduce, utilize or sequester air pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions.
Created by the Inflation Reduction Act, EIR can help the United States leverage its extensive energy infrastructure and skilled workforce to support the energy transformation. With EIR , LPO can support projects that reinvest in energy infrastructure throughout the United States, including in DOE-designated energy communities.
Many energy communities were built around power plants, fossil fuel extraction sites, transmission and distribution systems, fossil fuel pipelines, refineries, or other energy facilities. Often, the energy infrastructure has ceased operations or continues to operate but could benefit from carbon- or pollution-reducing improvements.
The EIR project category can support a wide range of projects that utilize existing energy infrastructure and revitalize communities, including: Upgrading or uprating energy infrastructure so it can restart or operate more efficiently, at higher output, or with lower emissions Replacing retired energy infrastructure with clean energy infrastructure Building new facilities for clean energy purposes that utilize legacy energy infrastructure Additionally, the scope of a project receiving EIR financing may include remediation of environmental damage associated with legacy energy infrastructure.
Source: Artwork by Nicole Kelner Defining “Energy Infrastructure” Energy Infrastructure is defined as a facility, and associated equipment, used for (1) the generation or transmission of electric energy; or (2) the production, processing, and delivery of fossil fuels, fuels derived from petroleum, or petrochemical feedstocks.
This definition encompasses a wide variety of facilities and sites, including, but not limited to, decommissioned or operating power plants, related transmission interconnections, oil and gas infrastructure including pipelines, refineries, and gas stations or refueling terminals.
EIR projects are not required to be innovative but must satisfy other eligibility requirements based on the nature of the energy infrastructure and, in some instances, the type of applicant.
EIR projects qualifying under the “energy infrastructure that has ceased operations” clause must meet the following additional criteria: The new or updated LPO-financed infrastructure should be at or near the site of the legacy infrastructure that it retools, repowers, repurposes, or replaces.
Applications that are replacing Energy Infrastructure, must show a clear relationship between new services and benefits provided by the Title 17 financed infrastructure and services, and benefits lost from the legacy infrastructure that ceased operations, such as grid capacity, reliability, and workforce retention and opportunities, including if the replacement plan differs from the legacy infrastructure physically and/or geographically.
Projects that will invest in energy infrastructure that has ceased operations and that will generate electricity using fossil fuels must have controls or technologies to avoid, reduce, utilize, or sequester air pollutants and anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.
Electric utilities that apply for an EIR loan guarantee must also demonstrate to DOE that financial benefits received from the guarantee will be passed on to the customers of, or associated communities served by, that utility. Possible Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment Project Areas The following is a set of project types that could be eligible for Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment financing, subject to LPO review.
These examples are neither exhaustive nor limiting.
Retired power plant (or other qualifying energy infrastructure) retooled, repowered, repurposed or replaced with: Renewable energy and/or storage Distributed energy (e.g., virtual power plant) Transmission interconnection to off-site clean energy New manufacturing facilities for clean energy products or services Fossil or biomass generation with carbon capture and sequestration Reconductoring transmission lines and upgrading voltage Retrofitting of fossil-fuel power plant with carbon capture and sequestration Repurposing oil and gas pipelines (e.g., for H2, CO2) Upgrading or retrofitting refineries (e.g., for biofuels or hydrogen) Upgrading or uprating existing generation facilities (with emissions control technologies for projects involving fossil generation) Energy infrastructure repurposing for decarbonization Additional program details and application requirements are described in the Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program Guidance and on the Title 17 Overview web page.

Dam and Seawall Repair or Removal Program is a grant from Massachusetts' Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs that funds projects to repair, remove, or remediate dams and seawalls across the Commonwealth. Administered through the ECO One Stop grants platform, the FY27 program accepts applications from municipalities, nonprofits, and other qualified entities. Projects must address infrastructure safety, environmental restoration, or climate resilience goals. Applications are submitted via the EEA Grants Management System (GMS), with the FY27 round deadline of March 20, 2026. Full eligibility and requirements are detailed in the ECO One Stop Grants Catalogue and the RFR available on COMMBUYS.
Economic Advancement Grants for Local Empowerment (EAGLE) Program is sponsored by Administration for Children and Families (ACF), HHS. This program supports Native American communities in advancing business opportunities for regenerative agriculture, AI, tribal energy sovereignty, and human capital development. While not explicitly focused on financial inclusion, projects that leverage technology for economic growth and wealth-building in these communities, potentially including financial technology solutions, may be relevant. The program aims to support Native capacity and success, foster economic growth through job creation, infrastructure, and wealth-building, and accelerate economic development and optimize governance.
The DOE Quantum Genesis Q Competition (DE-FOA-0003657) posted September 17, 2026 with an October 19 deadline. Phase I pays $250,000 then $1.25M on milestones; Phase II is a $100M pool plus two $50M bonus pools at 150 and 200 logical qubits. It is an Other Transaction Agreement, not a grant.

The real document splits $58 million across two topic areas with anticipated award counts of 0-7 and 0-3, a cost share that jumps from 20 percent to 50 percent mid-project, a mandatory five-page concept paper due October 9, and a university eligibility restriction that decides team structure before anyone writes a word.
Read articleThe Common Investment Initial Screening Application went live July 24, 2026, routing a single submission to 14 federal financing partners including DFC, ExIm, and the Office of Strategic Capital. Outside estimates put the accessible capacity above half a trillion dollars. It is also the most consequential unscored application in federal funding — no deadline, no review criteria, no commitment, and disclosure obligations most applicants will not read carefully. Here is how it actually works.
