As of October 22, 2024, the US Department of Energy announced $428 million in funding for 14 projects to accelerate domestic clean energy manufacturing in 15 coal communities across the US. [1] The projects, led by small to mid-size businesses in communities with decommissioned coal facilities, were chosen by the DOE’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) to address key energy supply chain vulnerabilities. Each project will include a community benefits plan to maximize economic, health, and environmental benefits, and five projects will be in disadvantaged communities. The projects aim to strengthen national security by building supply chains for existing and emerging technologies using domestic resources. The project selections will address five key supply chains, including grid components, batteries, low-carbon materials, clean power generation, and energy efficiency products. They will leverage over $500 million in private sector investment into small and medium manufacturers and create approximately 1,900 jobs.
