by: TopGovernmentGrants Editorial Staff

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, more commonly known as EERE, is an agency that is operating under the United States Department of Energy.

The The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is designed to put up investments by way of grants and programs in order to explore high-risk. high-value research and development projects in the fields of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies.

In line wit this objective, EERE has established a funding opportunity to support the SunShot Concentrating Solar Power Research and Development Project wherein it aims to fund revolutionary applied scientific research studies that will help develop highly disruptive Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies in order to help meet the 6 cents per kWh cost target by the end of the decade.

The project also seeks to start and develop research studies that will look into technologies that have the potential for a more efficient, less expensive, and more reliable performance that existing commercial and near-commercial CSP systems.
