Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002143
The Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) 2019 opportunity was a discretionary grant funding call from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), managed through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and specifically the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP). FEMP's broader role is to help federal agencies expand the use of energy efficiency and renewable energy by providing technical and implementation expertise, identifying cost-effective solutions, and encouraging partnerships with the private sector. In practical terms, this grant opportunity was designed to move energy management projects from concept to execution across federally owned facilities, with an emphasis on approaches that are financially workable and scalable.
The central purpose of AFFECT 2019 was to provide direct funding to federal agencies to develop, strengthen, or accelerate energy and water efficiency projects and related processes. Rather than paying for projects in a traditional upfront way, the program focused heavily on enabling project implementation through privately financed performance contracting mechanisms. Examples named in the announcement include Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs). These types of contracts are commonly used in the federal space to implement upgrades where costs are repaid over time through verified savings, helping agencies overcome capital constraints while still modernizing infrastructure and reducing energy and water use.
In addition to supporting individual facility projects, AFFECT 2019 also supported agencies that wanted to show and advance an enterprise-wide approach to energy efficiency. In the context of this opportunity, an enterprise-wide approach meant an all-inclusive energy management strategy applied across an agency's full portfolio of sites, not just a single building or installation. The intent was to help agencies build repeatable processes, standardized approaches, and coordinated planning that could drive consistent energy and water improvements across many locations. Overall, the program aim was to increase the viability and adoption of efficiency measures across federal facilities and to expand the number and quality of projects moving forward to implementation.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted as Federal Agency Call (FAC) number DE-FOA-0002143 and made available through the EERE eXCHANGE platform, which DOE uses for application intake. Applicants were required to register, create an account, and submit applications through that system to be eligible for an award. The full announcement, submission instructions, and points of contact for both content questions and technical submission issues were provided through the posting on the EERE eXCHANGE website, along with a user guide for navigating the platform.
Key details listed for the funding opportunity include an expected total of about 10 awards and an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award. The opportunity was issued by the Department of Energy, Golden Field Office, under the energy funding activity category (CFDA number 81.117). The posting date was July 22, 2019, and the original application deadline was August 29, 2019. Eligibility was indicated as "Others" with clarification provided in the full text, but the narrative makes clear that the program was structured as a federal agency call intended to direct funds to U.S. federal agencies pursuing energy and water efficiency efforts at government-owned facilities, particularly those leveraging performance contracting or rolling out an enterprise-wide energy management strategy.Apply for DE FOA 0002143
