SUMMARY:Grid Deployment Office (GDO) OSS/Informational Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This opportunity seeks to develop regionally focused consortia of utilities\, not-for-profit and for-profit organizations to provide technical assistance in addressing the on-going delays in the interconnection process. (Note: the size of the region can be a single utility territory or encompass an area served by multiple Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs)).  The Grid Deployment Office intends to initiate a project to develop AI software tools and automation that includes but not limited to demonstrating site control\, qualitatively evaluate permits\, site access agreements\, and other documentation provided as part of an interconnection application and compare the submitted information against the requirements at the state\, county\, municipality\, utility\, and/or system operator level.  If successful\, the tool would ideally provide interconnection applicants with an indicator on the likelihood that their application and site control documentation is conformant to the requirements. \nPurpose: The Objective Strategic Session (OSS) is an opportunity for potential performers and interested parties to learn more about PIA opportunities facilitated by ConnectWerx via webinar. DOE will provide an overview of the opportunity and additional details directly to OSS participants. OSS participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the opportunity directly to DOE and ConnectWerx. \nGrid Development Office (GDO) OSS/Informational Webinar Registration

SUMMARY:Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:WETO is looking to support education and training programs that offer (a) apprenticeship readiness programs\, (b) registered apprenticeship programs\, or (c) maritime/mariner programs\, with particular attention to programs that support underserved communities. Recipients of this funding can include local or state governments\, Tribes\, workforce boards\, institutions of higher education (especially Minority Serving Institutions)\, organized labor\, industry\, or other education and training providers that further education and training programs as they relate to the deployment of offshore wind in the United States. Successful applicants will have hiring commitments from employer partners. These awards will build upon existing training infrastructure and consider regional variability. \nPurpose: The Office Hours session will provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions about the opportunity directly to DOE and ConnectWerx. ConnectWerx recommends starting an application and utilizing the Office Hours for specific clarifications on the application or submissions processes. \nWETO Office Hours: Click Here to Join\nDial in: 833 568 8864 US Toll-free\nMeeting ID: 160 957 4312\nPasscode: 277303\nNote: *6 is how to mute/unmute when dialing in

SUMMARY:NELT - Capacity Building for Energy Assets
DESCRIPTION:Agenda \nObjectives:\n1) Illustrate challenges and opportunities available to energy communities to retain/create jobs and economic prosperity by repurposing existing energy assets including mines for new purposes to identify promising technology replacements for energy producers to decarbonize. Illustrative examples include data centers and/or clean energy manufacturing on abandoned mine lands\, energy storage facilities on sites of former coal power plants and storing hydrogen in abandoned oil & gas wells. Workforce/coursework development is also an essential part of community building and will be a focus of this workshop. \n2) Amplify funding available through the annual appropriations\, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)\, and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funding\, particularly through U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and other federal agencies for these purposes. \n3) Engage community and technology leaders to discuss energy asset transition and workforce challenges for communities that have retired or soon-to-be-retired energy assets\, including mines. The discussions will explore capacity building through new alternatives such as (but not limited to) data centers\, nuclear power\, and critical mineral processing to maintain jobs and the tax base while decarbonizing the economy\, while also highlighting the workforce development challenges and needs. The workshop will spotlight funding opportunities through various government agencies for these purposes. Breakout discussions will help gather information for prioritizing any potential future funding that the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) could receive for community needs\, including Pre-Front End Engineering and Design (Pre-FEED)\, and for addressing workforce challenges that include coursework development. \nCapacity Building for Energy Assets Registration

SUMMARY:Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) established the Industrial Sustainability\, Energy Efficiency\, and Decarbonization (ISEED) Workforce Development Collaborative to help meet the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. The ISEED Collaborative will support workforce development programs that strengthen the ability of the workforce to decarbonize the U.S. industrial sector while prioritizing American workers and preparing them for good-paying middle-class jobs. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)\, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)\, and National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will act as the Steering Committee for the Collaborative to help IEDO recruit\, convene\, manage\, and support selected collaborative members. \nPurpose: The Office Hours session will provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions about the opportunity directly to DOE and ConnectWerx.
