- Description
- The Department of Energy?s (DOE) Solar Program and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are interested in the development and commercialization of parabolic trough solar power plant technology. Through a Letter of Interest (LOI), we are seeking to expand U.S. industry involvement and competitiveness in worldwide trough development activities and to help advance the state of parabolic trough technology from a U.S. knowledge base through the USA Trough Initiative. Currently, the USA Trough Initiative is concerned with cost-effective production of components or subsystems for large-scale (1 MWe and up), parabolic trough solar thermal electric power production plants. This solicitation is intended to better position U.S. industry to manufacture and sell parabolic trough solar thermal electric components and subsystems. The following components are understood to be of high priority, but are not meant to be exclusive topics for this solicitation: glass or alternative reflector panels, receiver tubes, collector structure, collector heat transfer fluid interconnection (e.g. flexhoses, ball joint assemblies or alternatives), drive systems, and collector or field electronics or controls. It is expected that the FY06 program funding available under this LOI will be approximately $250,000.00. Fiscal year 2007 funding availability is not yet determined for this project, however, it is anticipated that a similar level of funding will be available in FY07. Full text of the solicitation will be available on the NREL web site http://www.nrel.gov/business_opportunities/solicitations_rfps.html on or after 03/23/06.
