Nevada Operations Office; Acceptance of an Unsolicited Proposal

AGENCY: Nevada Operations Office (DOE/NV), Department of Energy.

ACTION: Acceptance of an Unsolicited Proposal.

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

SUMMARY: DOE/NV announces that pursuant to the DOE Financial Assistance 
Rules, 10 C.F.R. Section 600.14(f), it is awarding a grant to the 
Corporation for Solar Technology and Alternative Resources (CSTAR) of 
Las Vegas, Nevada, on the basis of acceptance of an unsolicited 
proposal.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada 
Operations Office, ATTN: Kevin Thornton, P.O. Box 98518, Las Vegas, NV 
89193-8518.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This award will provide financial support to 
CSTAR who will pursue highly leveraged renewable energy development, 
especially the commercialization of new technologies looking for market 
entry projects. [[Page 30529]] 
    This project is to advance the competitive position of solar-power 
generation technologies by constructing facilities capable of 
generating up to 1000 megawatts of solar-generated electrical power and 
to create a sustaining manufacturing and technology infrastructure in 
southern Nevada. The mix of types of solar generation will be 
determined through a competitive process and will potentially include 
photovoltaics, dish/Stirling, solar trough, power tower, and other 
renewable technologies.
    The unsolicited proposal submitted by CSTAR is considered to be 
meritorious and the proposed project represents a unique and innovative 
idea, method, and approach which would not be eligible for financial 
assistance under a recent current, or planned solicitation.
    The project is of value to the DOE, other Federal agencies, the 
scientific and technological communities, and the general public 
through growth of a new manufacturing and technology industry in the 
southern Nevada area.
    The project period of this grant is for four and one-half years and 
will commence on June 15, 1995, through December 31, 1999. The total 
estimated cost of the award is $7,722,027 of which $4,700,000 is 
Federal funding and $3,022,027 non-Federal.

    Issued in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 22, 1995.
Joseph N. Fiore,
Acting Deputy Manager, DOE Nevada Operations Office.
