The purpose of this solicitation is to fund an assessment of the potential role of hydrogen production from renewable electricity and end-use conversion technologies for electric sector applications in California’s decarbonizing electric system. The goals of this assessment are to 1) provide research, development, and demonstration recommendations for California’s electric system that accelerate cost and performance improvements of key technologies, equipment, and subcomponents, and 2) inform how future Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) program investments in hydrogen can best coordinate with and complement other hydrogen development and deployment programs. This solicitation supports the 2021 EPIC Interim Investment Plan initiative number 5 titled “The Role of Green Hydrogen in a Decarbonized California—A Roadmap and Strategic Plan”
