GDO manages DOE’s three hydroelectric incentive programs : the Hydroelectric Production Incentives , the Hydroelectric Efficiency Improvement Incentives , and the Maintaining and Enhancing Hydroelectricity Incentives . The Loan Programs Office offers four distinct loan programs to finance a wide array of energy infrastructure projects across the country.
Water power projects may be eligible for DOE loan guarantees, especially under the Innovative Clean Energy Loan Guarantee Program or the Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program. The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) is a multi-technology office with funding for demonstration programs that could support hydropower or marine energy technologies.
OCED partners with private sector entities to accelerate market adoption of innovative energy technologies, including long-duration storage technologies such as pumped storage hydropower. The Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response supports development and deployment of advanced cyber applications, technologies, and threat collaboration efforts with the U.S. energy sector.
The Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains works to strengthen manufacturing and energy supply chains needed to modernize the nation’s energy infrastructure. DOE’s Technology Commercialization Fund leverages R&D funding in the applied energy programs, paired with private partners, to mature promising energy technologies with high impact potential.
In addition, DOE's Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs provides financial and technical assistance, education, and training to tribes for the evaluation and development of renewable energy resources on tribal lands. If you are interested in applying for funding, but your project does not fit within the scope of the posted solicitations, please submit your proposal to DOE's Unsolicited Proposal Office .

Executive Order 14421, signed August 26 and published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2026, prohibits acquisition or installation of covered foreign-produced bulk-power equipment — and applies notwithstanding any contract signed beforehand. DOE implementing rules are due by December 24. Here is what it means if federal grant or loan dollars are paying for the hardware.
Read articleDE-FOA-0003627 closes September 8, 2026, with $150 million across four topic areas and roughly 10 expected awards. Three topics fund enhanced recovery and fracture diagnostics; one funds produced water treatment — the smallest pot at $24 million, and the one with the least crowded applicant field. Here is the full topic breakdown, the TRL 5-to-7 bar that disqualifies most lab-stage teams, the 20 percent cost share math, and why a companion $65.5 million NOFO closing September 22 changes how you should sequence two applications.
