Summary

Note: The Ohio Advanced Energy Fund (AEF) expired as of December 31, 2010. With its expiration, the AEF, which is a public benefit fund, is no longer collecting money and thus unable to financially support ODOD programs. For any questions on the Advanced Energy Fund, please contact the Ohio Energy Resources Division directly using the contact information below. This information is for historical purposes only.

The Ohio Department of Development's (ODOD) Energy Resources Division is offering grants on a first-come, first-served basis for the installation of new distributed energy resources (DER) projects. Projects must be installed in Ohio and in the service territory of one of the state's four investor-owned utilities: American Electric Power, Dayton Power and Light, Duke Energy, and FirstEnergy. Project equipment may not be ordered, purchased, or installed prior to the execution of a AEF grant agreement with the ODOD.

Distributed Energy Resources (NOFA 07-01) Distributed energy resources (DER) projects, defined in the current solicitation as modular technologies that generate and deliver electricity to customers at or near the point of use, include systems that use natural gas and propane, landfill gas, or biomass methane. Eligible applications include industrial heat recovery and combined heat and power (CHP), microturbines, and clean-burning reciprocating engines. Systems up to 25 MW will be eligible. The maximum grant award is $100,000 or 25% of the project's cost, whichever is less. In addition, a minimum equity investment of 10% of the project cost is also required.
