DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

EERE-Denver Regional Support Office; Financial Assistance Award; 
Intent to Award Cooperative Agreement to the Electric Power Research 
Institute

agency: Department of Energy.

Action: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

summary: The Department of Energy, pursuant to 10 CFR 600.7, announces 
that it is making a financial assistance cooperative agreement cost 
shared award based on a noncompetitive determination to the Electric 
Power Research Institute (EPRI) in the amount of $140,000.

supplementary information: The DOE will fund up to 50 percent of the 
allowable costs of the Cooperative Agreement. The pending award is 
based on an application for a project entitled ``Advanced Integrated 
Resource Planning Training and Bulletin Board'' which was submitted by 
the EPRI. The general objective of the project is to advance the 
practices of Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) in the electric utility 
industry. EPRI will develop and conduct an advanced IRP course covering 
the concepts, methods and modeling techniques including the integration 
of supply and demand issues, demand-side cost effectiveness and value 
tests, treatment of externalities and evaluation of supply side 
options, including renewables and distributed resources. It is also 
intended to assist state utility regulatory commissions and other IRP 
practitioners and researchers obtain and exchange information important 
to IRP development and to assist in their implementation of the IRP 
related titles of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the Climate Change 
Action Plan.
    DOE has performed a review in accordance with 10 CFR 600.7 and has 
determined that the project to be funded will be an enhancement to the 
public and will be of public benefit. It is suitable for financial 
assistance and would not be eligible for financial assistance under a 
recent, current, or planned solicitation. The initial term of the award 
will be twelve (12) months, for a possible project period of five years 
from the initial date of award. Possible additional funding in future 
years will be based on satisfactory completion of the initial term, and 
availability of funding.
