Federal Funding Opportunities for Energy & Infrastructure

Energy innovators are helping modernize the systems that power domestic manufacturing, grid reliability, infrastructure resilience, and long-term energy security. Across clean energy, industrial technologies, advanced manufacturing, and deployment infrastructure, federal agencies continue prioritizing investments that strengthen the nation’s energy independence and economic competitiveness.

The Energy Federal Funding Landscape

Federal agencies continue investing in technologies that strengthen domestic energy security, grid modernization, industrial resilience, and infrastructure deployment. From hydrogen and energy storage to advanced manufacturing, clean energy systems, and transmission technologies, innovators are operating within an increasingly competitive environment shaped by energy security priorities, commercialization demands, and infrastructure modernization initiatives.

Successfully navigating this landscape requires organizations to align their technologies with evolving agency objectives focused on deployment readiness, operational scalability, manufacturing capacity, and long-term infrastructure impact.

Energy Funding FAQ

Which federal agencies and programs fund energy innovation?

U.S. energy funding comes primarily from DOE and its offices, ARPA-E, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), and the Loan Programs Office (LPO), together covering everything from early-stage R&D to large-scale infrastructure. Additional funds flow through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. EverGlade helps organizations navigate and secure these resources.

Is there federal funding for critical minerals and mining?

Yes, DOE announced roughly $1 billion in funding opportunities to scale critical-minerals mining, processing, and manufacturing, with additional capital flowing through the DoD's Office of Strategic Capital, EXIM, and the DFC. These support mining, processing, recycling, and domestic production essential to batteries and defense supply chains. EverGlade helps companies navigate this fast-evolving financing landscape.

Does the DOE offer loans for energy and infrastructure projects?

Yes, the DOE Loan Programs Office (LPO) provides loans and loan guarantees for large-scale clean energy and infrastructure projects, distinct from competitive R&D grants, to help projects reach commercial scale. In 2025 the LPO took a warrant-based equity stake as part of a $2.2 billion lithium project loan. EverGlade helps innovators assess whether DOE loan programs fit their project and how to position for them.
