Affordable Rural Cooperative (ARC) Energy Program

Solicitation # RUS-ARC-2026

The Affordable Rural Cooperative (ARC) Energy Program, administered by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the USDA, is providing approximately 175 million dollars in loan and grant funding to support the deployment of emission-free nuclear power supply and advanced transmission infrastructure. Authorized under Section 22004 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the program aims to increase the resiliency, reliability, and affordability of rural electric systems while achieving significant net emission reductions. Funding is split equally between two categories: Eligible Energy and Transmission Energy Efficiency Improvements. For project and system loans, the RUS will finance up to 75 percent of total capitalized costs, requiring awardees to provide at least 25 percent in cash or equity, though certain grants or tax credits may be used toward this requirement. The application process is a two-stage competition starting with a Letter of Interest (LOI) submitted via Grants.gov between October 19, 2026, and November 20, 2026. Eligible entities must have an active SAM registration and a Unique Entity Identifier to apply. LOIs are evaluated based on reliability, resiliency, affordability, financial feasibility, and project timing, with the New Clean Power Tool used to measure projected emission reductions. Only those who receive an Invitation to Proceed may submit a full application within 90 days of the invitation. Awarded projects must commence after the notice publication date and be completed by September 30, 2031, with a performance period of four years from the date of environmental clearance. All awardees must comply with Buy America requirements and federal non-discrimination laws.

Permit No. 20098 Authorize Existing Poles 5/91 and 5/90

Solicitation # 20098

Permit No. 20098, issued by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, authorizes the existing poles 5/91 and 5/90 on the Weber-Mormon Junction 60kV electric transmission line. These poles, constructed in 1953, form an aerial crossing over Mormon Slough in Stockton, San Joaquin County, California, with the poles situated on the landside. The project is located approximately 1,900 feet south of the intersection of East Main Street and Alpine Road, with specific coordinates and addresses identified for both pole 5/91 at 7550 E Main Street and pole 5/90 at 8025 Farmington Road. The authorization is based on the maintenance and operation of existing structures with no expansion of use, making the project exempt under the CEQA Class 1 categorical exemption for existing facilities. The permit aligns with the Operation and Maintenance Manual for Mormon Slough Project San Joaquin County, California, Part No. I-Levees and Channels, 1967. Key personnel managing the project include Angela Nguyen-Tan of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and Craig Geldard of PG&E, with the document signed by Executive Officer Chris Lief on July 14, 2026.

Install Power Conditioner, LAPSC, B/6500, SWFPAC (DB-IH)Under contract MPSR 62435611, Navfac Northwest for the Department of the Navy seeks the design, construction, and installation of a containerized motor generator set with a flywheel at the LAPSC facility in Bangor. This power conditioner is intended to protect buildings 6500, 6501, 6502, and 6503 from electrical system transients, including voltage sags, surges, and impulses. The system must be sized to accommodate the full load of these specific facilities to ensure operational stability. The project is justified by a history of nuisance spikes and trips caused by utility transmission line switching, environmental factors, and right-of-way encroachments. These transients have previously led to interrupted operations and damage to both facility and onboard systems. By installing this power conditioner, the Navy aims to prevent early equipment failure and eliminate the risks associated with constant power cycling.

DOR no. 1935-23, CUP No. 18-12, DA No. 33-23

Solicitation # CUP No. 1128-23

VESI 27, LLC is redeveloping a 3-acre site located at 18800 Broadway Avenue in Carson, California, to establish a 100-megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facility. The project involves the installation of lithium-ion batteries within modular outdoor enclosures and the construction of an underground 66-kilovolt generation transmission line to connect the facility to the SCE Nola Substation. The system is designed to receive energy from the SCE transmission system, store it, and deliver it back to the substation during periods of increased demand, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. The City of Carson serves as the approving agency for the project, which is identified under solicitation number CUP No. 1128-23. The project has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 for Infill Development, as it is consistent with local general plan designations and zoning regulations, located in an urban area, and presents no significant environmental effects. Key points of contact include Senior Planner Kaneca Pompey for the City of Carson and Permitting Manager Jessica Mowry for the project implementation.

Marysville Ring Levee Project - Phase 2A South and 2C

Solicitation # Permit No. 19968

The Marysville Ring Levee Project, specifically Phases 2B and 3, involves the utility relocation of the Nicolaus-Marysville 60kV transmission line in Yuba County, California. This project, managed under Permit No. 19968, seeks to authorize an existing PG&E electric transmission line that was originally established in 1966. The line crosses the Yuba River and the Marysville Ring Levee and is currently authorized under the Flood Protection Levee Easement. The scope of work focuses on the operation, maintenance, or minor alteration of these existing structures, with specific pole structures identified at geographic coordinates within the Yuba River Basin. The Central Valley Flood Protection Board is the approving agency for this project. Due to the nature of the work involving existing facilities without an expansion of use, the project has been granted a Notice of Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the Class 1 Existing Facilities categorical exemption. While specific contract values, delivery schedules, and evaluation factors are not provided in the current documentation, the project is categorized under NAICS code 221121 and is overseen by environmental and project management contacts from the Department of Water Resources and PG&E.

Full Description

BACKGROUND

Facilities & Site Services (F&SS) at Idaho National Laboratory is planning to host an Industry Discovery Forum to engage with industry partners and provide early visibility into upcoming F&SS projects. This event aligns with INL’s ongoing commitment to collaborating with qualified vendors, strengthening competition, and expanding awareness of future opportunities. During this onsite forum, vendors will receive presentations covering anticipated scope needs, project timelines, and general requirements for upcoming electrical Transmission and Distribution (T&D) infrastructure improvement projects managed by F&SS. The purpose of this EOI is to gauge interest and develop a list of vendors who would like to attend the INL Industry Discovery Forum. F&SS intends to use a design-build project execution strategy and is seeking participation from experienced T&D engineering firms and constructor teams. INL’s desert site is powered by a DOE-owned 138 kV transmission system that steps down to distribution voltages across multiple complexes. The system has been in service for more than 75 years, and as INL’s mission grows, significant reliability and infrastructure projects are required to strengthen the system for future load demands.

PURPOSE OF THIS EOI

The purpose of this Expression of Interest is to identify vendors interested in attending the Industry Discovery Forum. The event will include:

Presentations on the T&D Infrastructure Program from F&SS INL power management and subject matter experts
High-level overviews of anticipated FY26-FY31 project work
Opportunities for vendors to ask questions and understand capabilities needed for future work
An overview of applicable INL site requirements, including access, safety expectations, and (as appropriate) Davis-Bacon and SSA applicability
Focused discussions related to T&D needs and associated support service

EVENT DETAILS **Limited space available – attendance is by invite only**

The forum will include a half-day of presentations and breakout meetings, to be held at the INL complex in Idaho Falls in mid-June 2026
