Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001938
The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and specifically the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), published a Notice of Intent (NOI) indicating that it plans to release a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) focused on an "Advanced Next-Generation High-Efficiency Lightweight Wind Turbine Generator." The key point is that this posting is only an advance notice meant to alert potential applicants that a competitive funding opportunity may be coming soon. It is not the actual solicitation, and DOE is not accepting applications under this notice.
Because it is an NOI, the DOE is explicitly leaving itself flexibility: it may issue the FOA largely as described, it may issue a substantially different FOA, or it may decide not to issue a FOA at all. All details provided in the notice are considered preliminary and subject to change once the formal FOA is released. The agency also notes that it will not answer questions about the NOI itself; instead, once the FOA is published, DOE will provide an official process for submitting questions.
The anticipated topic area sits within the energy domain and aims at advancing wind turbine generator technology, emphasizing higher efficiency and reduced weight. While the NOI does not provide technical requirements, milestones, or topic areas beyond the title, the framing signals an interest in next-generation generator designs and related innovations that could reduce mass, improve conversion efficiency, and potentially lower cost or improve performance for modern wind turbines. In practice, opportunities under this kind of WETO effort often relate to generator architectures, materials, power conversion approaches, manufacturability, and reliability improvements, but the NOI itself does not commit to any specific subtopics.
Eligibility, as listed in the source data, includes small businesses and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The sponsoring agency is DOE's Golden Field Office. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and lists the funding instrument type as "Other," which typically means the final FOA will specify the exact award mechanism (for example, cooperative agreement or other structure) when it is officially posted. The CFDA number associated with the program area is 81.087, which corresponds to DOE renewable energy work under EERE.
The administrative details included with the notice reflect that no awards are being made at the NOI stage: the expected number of awards is shown as 0, and there is no application deadline because applications are not accepted under an NOI. The record shows a creation date of November 5, 2018. An award ceiling value appears in the listing, but since this is not a live solicitation and the details may change, any funding levels should be treated as tentative until the formal FOA is released.
Anyone tracking or preparing for this opportunity is directed to the EERE Exchange website (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/), which is where DOE posts the full NOI text and where the eventual FOA would be released if DOE proceeds. The practical takeaway is that interested companies should monitor EERE Exchange for the official FOA, because only the released FOA will contain the definitive scope, required submissions, evaluation criteria, budget rules, and due dates.Apply for DE FOA 0001938
