The Nevada Institute for Renewable Energy Commercialization (NIREC) proposes to use federal funding to continue efforts in developing renewable energy technologies and projects. This National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) determination is a continuation of the GFO-08138 NEPA determination. NIREC will conduct a request for proposal for renewable energy projects, provide grant funding for commercialization of the selected projects, and support the grantees through the process of acquiring private funding to further the technology. NIREC expects to select projects in multiple technologies that include, but are not limited to, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass-biofuels, storage, hydrogen, and efficiency technologies in addition to infrastructure capabilities.
