Description
The California Energy Commission’s INDIGO program seeks proposals to deploy cutting‑edge, emerging decarbonization technologies at California industrial facilities. Applicants must submit a detailed project narrative, scope of work, budget, CEQA compliance plan, and required commitment letters, with a minimum award of $4 M and a maximum of $8 M per project, and provide at least 25 % non‑CEC match funding. The award term runs until June 30 2028, with mandatory reporting, quarterly progress reports, and a final deliverables package that includes M&V results and technology transfer outputs.
• Eligible technologies include industrial heat pumps, electric boilers, non‑thermal separations, carbon capture/utilization, energy‑efficiency upgrades, and load‑flexibility solutions.
• Projects must demonstrate a TRL ≥ 6 (Round 3) and provide measurable GHG, electricity, and peak‑load reductions, especially benefiting disadvantaged communities.
• Required deliverables span kickoff meetings, CPR reviews, quarterly reports, TAC meetings, community‑engagement plans, and a final technical report, all managed through the ECAMS portal.
