On April 20, 2026, the White House declared grid, natural gas, LNG, petroleum, and coal 'essential to national defense,' unlocking DPA Title III loans, loan guarantees, and purchase commitments through DOE. Here is how this non-traditional financing works, who qualifies, why the September 30 sunset matters, and how energy companies and their supply chains should position now.
Read articleThe Defense Production Act's Title III has quietly become one of the most active federal funding vehicles of 2026 — $500M for energy infrastructure, ~$275M for critical-minerals processing, and a standing defense-manufacturing FOA.
