Click on the "Search Public Opportunities" link, then select "Reference Number" under Search Criteria and enter the full RFI number in the search field. All responses must be submitted to cspdemonstration@go.doe.gov by 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Emails should have the subject line Solar Demonstration Zone RFI Response. Following is a synopsis: The goal of the Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Solar Energy Technologies Program (SETP), is to make solar energy cost compatible with grid electricity by 2015 and also to enable the high penetration of solar energy in the U.S. electricity market. The near-term goal of the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) sub-program is to make CSP competitive in the intermediate power market through the development of advanced technologies that will reduce system and storage costs and to otherwise facilitate the deployment of utility-scale solar technologies. DOE is requesting information on the Solar Demonstration Zone Project.
