U.S.

Department of Energy
Loan Guarantees
This is one of very few programs in the private and government sectors that
will finance first-of-a-kind technologies. Moreover, the DOE Loan Guarantee
program offers the lowest-cost financing available for projects that require
loans of $75 million to over $1 billion, with competive rates for loans of less
than $75 million.

Comparison Between USDA & DOE Loan
Guarantees for First-Of-A-Kind Technologies

Guarantee and U.S. Department of Energys Title XVII DOE Loan Guarantee

Similarities
Both programs are designed specifically for commercializing first-of-a-

These types of projects are almost impossible to fund through traditional
sources of financing, since they are unproven at commercial scale
andcarry considerable risk.

New Energy Storage
Innovations
The need for energy storage in the electric grid is increasing as a result of the growing use of
renewable power generation, which varies with wind and solar conditions. The
proliferation of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids also contributes to the growing
interest in grid storage, and the need for cheaper, more efficient, more environmentally
friendly batteries.

 USDA Loan Guarantee
The USDAs B&I and REAP programs provide guarantees for loans
from commercial lenders. The two advantages of these
guarantees are they reduce risk for the lenders, hence, make the
lenders much more willing to finance a project.
