Opportunity Summary

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) has issued solicitation RFX-2026-10006 for the Community Microgrid Assistance Partnership (C-MAP). This program supports the implementation of research intended to improve energy delivery for rural and remote areas facing high energy costs and unreliable systems. The initiative provides direct funding and technical expertise to energy providers, local governments, and industry partners to build, operate, and enhance microgrid systems. The solicitation defines a microgrid as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources acting as a single controllable entity, which may be islanded or capable of operating independently from external infrastructure.

The solicitation identifies five distinct topic areas: regional microgrid coordination, integration with large load energy consumers, new microgrid development, microgrid transformation for existing operational systems, and assessments for industrial consumers. These efforts aim to develop multi-community support structures, create detailed engineering designs, and foster collaboration between utilities and industrial users to expand regional development. Work is classified under NAICS 541690 for Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services and PSC B599 for Special Studies/Analysis - Other.

Managed by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy on behalf of the Department of Energy, this solicitation has a response deadline of July 2, 2026. The place of performance is located in Arvada, Colorado, under the direction of point of contact Kyndall Jackson. There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The solicitation package includes seven attachments, such as a Statement of Work, deliverable schedules, and technical specifications for community microgrids.

Program Overview
The Community Microgrid Assistance Partnership (C-MAP) is an effort through the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) to expand American’s access to affordable energy, strengthen grid reliability, and bolster national security. The program supports the implementation of innovative OE-funded research to improve energy delivery to Americans living and working in rural and remote areas that have less reliable energy systems and some of the highest energy costs in the nation. Through this effort, DOE-OE provides direct funding, access to technical experts, and educational resources to energy providers and partners to build, operate, and enhance microgrid systems that improve the affordability, reliability, and security of electricity in rural and remote areas of the U.S.
The 2026 C-MAP solicitation aims to support rural and remote communities to:
• Develop and implement multi-community support efforts to better support or develop advanced microgrid energy systems
• Develop detailed engineering designs and financial assessments in support of developing advanced microgrid systems • Expand collaboration between energy providers and large load energy users, with a goal to expand industrial development in rural areas • Assess and improve the operation of existing microgrid energy systems. This call for proposals will support energy providers, local governments and U.S. industry in remote areas to improve the operational efficiency of existing or development of new microgrid energy systems. This solicitation uses the U.S. Department of Energy definition of a microgrid: “a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity.” This solicitation targets existing or proposed microgrids which experience challenges with cost, reliability, resilience, and/or power quality. The microgrids may be electrically islanded (not connected to an external electricity infrastructure) or, if connected to external electrical infrastructure, such as electric transmission or distribution feeders, must at times operate independently of that external energy system.
