The California Energy Commission has published a competitive solicitation for funding of innovative research and development in in-conductive hydro, geothermal, and wind technologies. Projects that result in improved performance and cost-effectiveness of renewable energy sources are eligible for funding.

Funding for the selected projects is contingent upon their approval at a publicly announced Energy Commission meeting and the execution of a grant agreement. If the Energy Commission is unable to negotiate and execute a grant agreement with an applicant in a timely manner, the Energy Commission reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or otherwise modify the pending award and award the funds to another applicant.
