All Funding Opportunities

The federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) were passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Both include substantial funding opportunities from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). While DOE has announced the types of funding available, guidance for states is being released at different times, with states waiting for guidance on many of the funding opportunities.

This page will be updated to reflect the status of these funding opportunities in Nevada. This is not an exhaustive list, and GOE’s updates to this page may include the addition or removal of certain funding opportunities as more information becomes available to identify which are appropriate for GOE.
