Munster explains that OSED was established as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) to support energy infrastructure demonstration projects. He highlights the importance of OSED's commercial analysis team, which he helped build, in evaluating the financial viability and commercial potential of these projects.Munster also explains the funding structure of OSED, which involves stage gates and deliverables that must be met to receive funding. He emphasizes that OSED is focused on community benefits and transparency, rather than seeking a return on investment like the DOE's Loan Programs Office. The episode concludes with Munster providing advice for organizations seeking OSED funding, emphasizing the need to understand the unique negotiation process and package their projects in a way that aligns with OSED's goals.Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the role of OSED in advancing clean energy technologies and the importance of commercial analysis in evaluating project viability.
