Opportunity Title:
Food Production Investment Program (FPIP) 2024
Funder/Agency:
CEC
Opportunity Number:
GFO-23-305
Description:
FPIP will accelerate the adoption of advanced energy efficiency and decarbonization energy technologies that support achieving the state’s long-term GHG emissions reduction goals while maximizing other co-benefits. FPIP funds the installation and implementation of advanced energy and decarbonization technology projects within California food facilities that meet the guiding principles of
benefiting or improving public health and the environment, particularly in priority populations,
enhancing and benefitting the electrical grid, especially during net peak periods, and
demonstrating reliability and effectiveness of advanced energy and decarbonization technologies and strategies.
The CEC will prioritize investing the funds in projects that achieve significant GHG and energy reductions, reduce demand during net peak periods, maximize benefits to priority population communities, and are necessary to meet the State’s climate goals.
FPIP will assist California food producers in achieving the following:
Energy Efficiency: Support the adoption of commercially available (“drop-in ready”) and emerging energy-efficient equipment upgrades that are replacements or additions to existing equipment or processes that provide greater GHG emission and energy reductions than current best practices or industry-standard equipment.
Grid Reliability: Support the adoption of commercially available and emerging technologies needed to support grid reliability, especially during net peak periods.
Pre-Application Workshop:
CEC staff will hold one remote Pre-Application Workshop to discuss this solicitation with potential applicants. Participation is optional but encouraged. Please be aware that the meeting will be recorded.
