ARPA-E Reauthorization Act of 2019
This bill revises and reauthorizes through FY2024 the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).
The bill revises the goals of ARPA-E to include the development of energy technologies that improve the resilience, reliability, and security of infrastructure to produce, deliver, and store energy.
The bill also requires ARPA-E to ensure that an award is not provided for a project unless the prospective award recipient demonstrates that (1) a sufficient attempt has been made to secure private financing, or (2) the project is not independently commercially viable.
