SUMMARY:DOE Funding Opportunity: Deep Geothermal Field Tests
DESCRIPTION:The State of Colorado is energized by the latest Notice of Funding Opportunity from the Department of Energy’s Office of Geothermal for deep geothermal field tests and resource characterization. This solicitation represents a pivotal window to catalyze deep geothermal development by building certainty around resource characterization—a critical step in de-risking the future of the industry for Colorado.\nThis federal solicitation requires a 20% non-federal cost-sharing requirement. A letter of intent to apply is due March 27\, and the application deadline is April 30\, 2026. The State of Colorado seeks to support developer applications for this solicitation\, but will not serve as the lead applicant.\n\nThe CO Department of Energy is inviting prospective applicants considering applying for Colorado projects to join representatives from the Governor’s Office\, Colorado Energy Office\, Energy and Carbon Management Commission\, and Department of Natural Resources for an Open Q&A Session at 11:00am MT on Thursday\, March 12 to discuss how the State of Colorado can support your applications and the resources we have available to ensure a competitive submission.

SUMMARY:Expanding Local Government Capacity: University\, Nonprofit\, and State Partnerships for Climate Resilience and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:3rd Annual National Sustainability Society Conference \n“Expanding Local Government Capacity: University\, Nonprofit\, and State Partnerships for Climate Resilience and Sustainability”\nLocal governments are on the frontlines of climate action and are expected to advance ambitious sustainability goals across climate mitigation\, resilience\, waste reduction\, and energy systems. However\, insufficient staffing and funding can prevent them from making progress. Cross-sector partnerships between local governments\, universities\, nonprofits\, and state agencies offer a practical\, scalable way to get this work done. At the same time\, they offer students hands-on\, career-defining experiences in municipal government. As students emerge as next generation sustainability leaders\, project learning experiences with local governments play a critical role in preparing them with the practical skills and professional relationships needed to advance sustainability in their communities. \nThis session will focus on how universities\, nonprofits\, and state agencies build and implement partnerships that expand local government capacity to advance sustainability and climate action. Panelists will share real-world examples from featured programs in Colorado and Arizona\, including ICLEI USA’s Colorado Resilience Engine (CORE) Internship Program\, Mountain Towns 2030 programming and Capstone project with CU Boulder\, CU Boulder’s Master of the Environment (MENV) Capstone Program\, the Rural Technical Assistance Program (a collaboration between CU Boulder’s MENV program\, the Colorado Outdoor Recreation Industry Office (OREC) and Colorado State University Extension)\, and Arizona State University’s Project Cities program.
