Description
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory is seeking feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, impacted communities, and other stakeholders on issues related to gigawatt-scale generation and transmission investments driven by projected electricity demand growth from data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities, semiconductor fabrication plants, and other large energy users that are outpacing the capacity of the existing electric grid.
• The purpose of this RFI is to solicit input on federal actions to rapidly expand grid capacity and enable electricity demand growth.
• The RFI is focused on identifying solutions to address the challenges posed by the increasing demand for electricity.
• Respondents are encouraged to provide feedback on the potential approaches, technologies, and strategies that could be employed to accelerate the expansion of grid capacity.
• The deadline for response is November 21, 2025.
