Cost-Share for Federal Geothermal Energy Funding Opportunities

CA Energy CommissionNo deadline listed

Does this fit your business?

This California Energy Commission program provides cost-share funding to applicants who have already won (or are pursuing) an award under an eligible federal geothermal funding opportunity. It requires a 50% match, so it only makes sense for organizations that can cover half the project cost. Nonprofits should not bother applying; this is for businesses, individuals, public agencies, and tribal governments working in geothermal energy.

Best for
California small businesses in geothermal energy, For-profit energy companies with a federal award in hand, Individuals pursuing eligible federal geothermal FOAs, Tribal governments and public agencies in California
Not for
Nonprofit organizations, Organizations outside California, Applicants unable to provide a 50% match
