High Contrast Mode On or Off switch Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Shared Clean Energy Facilities Statewide Shared Clean Energy Facility (SCEF) Program The statewide SCEF Program was developed pursuant to Section 7(a)(1)(C) of Public Act 18-50, An Act Concerning Connecticut’s Energy Future , codified as Section 16-244z(a)(1)(C) of the General Statutes of Connecticut.
The statewide SCEF Program seeks the deployment of new or incremental Class I renewable generation projects for a 20-year term. Eligible projects are chosen through a competitive bidding procurement process each year, for a total of 8 years. The first procurement occurred in 2020.
With the passage of Public Act 22-14 , the SCEF Program now allows projects ranging in size from 100 to 5,000 kilowatts (AC), starting in the Year 4 Procurement. Earlier SCEF procurements only allowed projects up to 4,000 kilowatts. Further, Public Act 22-14 increased the yearly program capacity from 25 megawatts to 50 megawatts.
Most recently, Public Act 24-31 extended the SCEF Program from 6 years to 8 years and Public Act 25-173 requires that projects after January 1, 2026 "emit no pollutants." If you are an Eversource or United Illuminating customer in Connecticut, you may be eligible for a SCEF subscription, which provides an on-bill credit to lower your energy bill!
Please see the relevant webpage to determine your eligibility and apply: The Year 7 Procurement maintains a twenty percent (20%) bid preference for all Class I resources sited on brownfields or landfills, for ranking purposes only, and maintains a forty percent (40%) bid preference for solar canopies, also for ranking purposes only. Bidders cannot receive both bid preferences.
If a Bidder’s project is eligible for both bid preferences, the Bidder will solely get the forty percent ( 40%) bid preference for solar canopies. Year 7 RFP and Submission of Project Bid Filing to EDCs Eversource Energy (Eversource) and The United Illuminating Company (UI), together, the Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs), jointly issued the Year 7 RFP in January 2026, for the submission of Project Bid filings.

Bidders must also email a copy of their entire Project Bid filing to DEEP at DEEP. EnergyBureau@ct.
gov on or before the same date. Bidder's Appendix B Submittal to DEEP Concurrent with a Project Bid filing with the relevant EDC in response to the Year 7 RFP, a Bidder must also submit the following information and affidavits to DEEP on or before the Bid Forms due date established by the EDCs in the Year 7 RFP.
A Bidder's responses to these items are collectively known as the Bidder's Appendix B Submittal: Responses to all questions outlined in the Year 7 Appendix B; Attachment 1: an affidavit attesting to the Bidder's control of the Project Site by the Bidder; Attachment 2: an affidavit attesting to the Bidder's control of the Project Site by the owner of the Project Site (required only if the Bidder is not the owner of the Project Site); Attachment 3: an affidavit attesting to the veracity of statements made to DEEP in Appendix B and all attachments; Attachment 4: an Applicant Compliance Information form; and A copy of the notification email the Bidder has received from the relevant EDC confirming the Project Bid has been submitted successfully.

Develop breakthrough and sustainable bio-based textile fibres is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: Successful proposals will contribute to the updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy, the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles, the Clean Industrial Deal, and the Ecodesign Sustainable Products Regulation. Indirect contribution is expected towards the objectives of the Horizon Europe Mission "Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030" in particular to Obj 2: "Prevent and eliminate pollution of our oceans, seas and waters”. Projects results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes: Wider availability of natural and/or man-made bio-based fibres meeting market requirements. Scalable production processes for novel man-made and/or modified natural fibres. Enhanced circularity and prevent microplastics release compared to benchmarks. Scope: Fossil-based synthetic textile fibre production has grown significantly, reaching 67% of the global market in 2023. [1] Among bio-based fibres, cotton plays a prominent role as it is the second most produced fibre at global level; however, it bears serious environmental concerns due to its massive land use and water consumption; moreover, the EU holds a minor share of the global cotton production (around 2%) and it is expected to remain a net importer in the future. Novel sustainable sources of natural fibres require significant improvements in some steps of textile production such as retting/degumming, spinning, modification and treatment. Man-made (synthetic and semi-synthetic) bio-based fibres are also slightly increasing their current market share, however there is a need to improve their technical performances to meet the requirements of final textile applications. Proposals under this topic should: Develop breakthrough processes to yield bio-based textile fibres from sustainably sourced biomass feedstock. Bio-based textile waste is eligible as feedstock. Bio-based man-made (synthetic and semi-synthetic) fibres and/or the extraction, refinement and functionalisation of natural fibres are in scope. Ensure compatibility with existing textile manufacturing processes and equipment to facilitate market penetration. Design the bio-based fibre(s) to improve specific technical requirements against state-of-the-art benchmarks, e.g., tenacity, flexibility, spinning quality, elasticity/plasticity, thermal resistance, flammability and durability. Test these properties according to existing standards/methods to assess the compatibility with end-products requirements. Design the bio-based textile fibres for sustainable end of life. Assess the actual feasibility of the targeted end of life option(s). Prevent release of microplastics and other harmful substances along the whole product life cycle. In addition to the specific requirements applicable for the type of action, as described in section 2.2.3.1 of the CBE JU Annual Work Programme 2026 [2] , proposals under this topic should: As part of the multi-actor approach (MAA), ensure adequate involvement of all key actors in the value chains relevant for this topic, including textiles manufacturers, feedstock suppliers, end users and/or consumers. Include a task to apply the SSbD framework, developed by the European Commission for the assessment of targeted textile fibres. For more information on the SSbD framework and criteria, refer to Safe and sustainable by design Ensure complementarities with past and ongoing R&I projects addressing similar challenges, including projects funded under Horizon 2020/Horizon Europe (under Cluster 6 and Cluster 4 of Horizon Europe, including the partnership ‘Textiles of the Future’) and BBI JU/CBE JU projects.

The RUS Powering Affordable Reliable Technology (PART) Energy Program takes Letters of Interest until October 9, 2026. Up to 40% of each loan can be forgiven, awards run $1M to $100M, and USDA describes eligible generation as hydro, geothermal, and biomass — even though Section 317 of the RE Act names solar and wind.

No application, no NOFO, no deadline. Here is how SBIC capital actually works, why a January 2026 rule change made this possible, and what a company sitting on a DOE Phase II award should do about it.
Read articleThe Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
