existing coal-fueled electricity generating units (EGUs) that could improve the overall performance, reliability, and flexibility of the nation’s existing fleet of coal-fueled EGUs.

Specifically, the DOE FE program is interested in gathering information relevant to three technical areas.

These areas include:
(1) – Advanced technologies for Efficiency Improvements at Full- and/or Part-Load Operations; (2) – Advanced technologies for Improvements to EGU Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM); and (3) – Advanced technologies for Improved Operational Flexibility.

The intent of gathering information in these three technical areas is to inform the development of targeted R&D program to develop technologies that can be applied across the existing fleet of coal-fueled EGUs.

This is solely a request for information and is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).

U. S. DOE is not accepting applications to this RFI.
