(Washington, D.C.) – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a notice of intent (NOI) for the Office of Electricity to issue a $4.8 million funding opportunity announcement (FOA).
This FOA aims to support the development and demonstration of technologies, tools, or systems that enable secure communications of data and control messaging between grid edge infrastructure and distribution system operators.
The grid edge is where utility service ends and customer equipment starts. Specifically, the grid edge begins at customers’ meter points and includes their own equipment, software, and controls. Examples include rooftop solar systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and energy storage solutions.
