DE-FOA-0000943: RFI - Manufacturing Barriers and Opportunities for Water Power Technologies

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only.  DOE will not pay for information provided under this RFI and no project will be supported as a result of this RFI.  This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance or financial incentives.  DOE may or may not issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) based on consideration of the input received from this RFI.

The Department of Energy (DOE) seeks input from the public related to improving the manufacturing process for both marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) and hydropower technologies.  An emphasis on design for manufacturing could transition a nascent MHK industry from its current focus on performance prototypes towards manufacturing cost competitive production units.   Advanced materials and manufacturing processes for hydropower turbines could result in cost reduction across the entire power plant that will have significant impact on the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of hydropower.  Investment in materials and manufacturing will drive an increase of U.S. domestic manufacturing content in clean energy technologies.  DOE is seeking to improve these areas and is requesting information to identify the most promising investment opportunities based on industry needs.

The information collected by this RFI will be used for market baseline information and internal DOE planning.  Interested parties to this RFI may include, but are not limited to MHK and hydropower: Developers (Technology and Project); Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs); State agencies; Research institutions; Manufacturers; and Suppliers.  The sole purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gain public input regarding manufacturing challenges and opportunities to advance MHK and hydropower technologies.

Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to WaterMfg@go.doe.gov  by 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on July 12, 2013.  Responses should include:  cover page, 1 page executive summary, and up to a 5 page full response.
