Page 9019 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 17242 (B) may use the grant to obtain technical assistance from experts in carrying out the activities described in subparagraph (A). (4) Condition As a condition of receiving a grant under paragraph (1), an eligible entity shall— (A) implement a public awareness cam- paign, in coordination with the Secretary, about the project implemented under the grant in the community in which the eligi- ble entity is located, which campaign shall include providing projected environmental benefits achieved under the project, where to find more information about the program es- tablished under this section, and any other information the Secretary determines nec- essary; (B) submit to the Secretary, and make available to the public, a report that de- scribes— (i) any energy cost savings and environ- mental benefits achieved under the project; and (ii) the results of the project, including quantitative assessments to the extent practicable, associated with each activity described in paragraph (3)(A); and (C) create and disseminate tools and re- sources that will benefit other rural electric cooperatives, which may include cost cal- culators, guidebooks, handbooks, templates, and training courses. (5) Cost-share Activities under this subsection shall be sub- ject to the cost-sharing requirements of sec- tion 16352 of this title. (e) Technical assistance (1) In general In carrying out the program established under subsection (b), the Secretary may pro- vide eligible entities with technical assistance relating to— (A) identifying opportunities for energy storage technology and microgrid projects; (B) understanding the technical and eco- nomic characteristics of energy storage technology or microgrid projects; (C) understanding financing alternatives; (D) permitting and siting issues; (E) obtaining case studies of similar and successful energy storage technology or microgrid projects; (F) reviewing and obtaining computer soft- ware for assessment, design, and operation and maintenance of energy storage tech- nology or microgrid systems; and (G) understanding and utilizing the reli- ability and resiliency benefits of energy storage technology and microgrid projects. (2) External contracts In carrying out paragraph (1), the Secretary may enter into contracts with third-party ex- perts, including engineering, finance, and in- surance experts, to provide technical assist- ance to eligible entities relating to the activi- ties described in such paragraph, or other rel- evant activities, as determined by the Sec- retary. (f) Authorization of appropriations (1) In general There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $15,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2021 through 2025. (2) Administrative costs Not more than 5 percent of the amount ap- propriated under paragraph (1) for each fiscal year shall be used for administrative expenses. (Pub. L. 116–260, div.

PART E—MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS § 17241. Lightweight materials research and de- velopment (a) In general As soon as practicable after December 19, 2007, the Secretary of Energy shall establish a pro- gram to determine ways in which the weight of motor vehicles could be reduced to improve fuel efficiency without compromising passenger safe- ty by conducting research, development, and demonstration relating to— (1) the development of new materials (in- cluding cast metal composite materials formed by autocombustion synthesis) and ma- terial processes that yield a higher strength- to-weight ratio or other properties that reduce vehicle weight; and (2) reducing the cost of— (A) lightweight materials (including high- strength steel alloys, aluminum, magne- sium, metal composites, and carbon fiber re- inforced polymer composites) with the prop- erties required for construction of lighter- weight vehicles; and (B) materials processing, automated man- ufacturing, joining, and recycling light- weight materials for high-volume applica- tions. (b) Authorization of appropriations There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $80,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2008 through 2012. (Pub. L. 110–140, title VI, § 651, Dec. 19, 2007, 121 Stat. 1694.)

42 U.S.C. § 17241 — Better energy storage technology

**(a) Definitions** In this section: (1) **Energy storage system** — The term “energy storage system” means any system, equipment, facility, or technology that— (A) is capable of absorbing or converting energy, storing the energy for a period of time, and dispatching the energy; and (B) (i) uses mechanical, electrochemical, thermal, electrolysis, or other processes to convert and store electric energy that was generated at an earlier time for use at a later time; (ii) uses mechanical, electrochemical, biochemical, or thermal processes to convert and store energy generated from mechanical processes that would otherwise be wasted, for delivery at a later time; or (iii) stores energy in an electric, thermal, or gaseous state for direct use for heating or cooling at a later time in a manner that avoids the need to use electricity or other fuel sources at that later time, such as a grid-enabled water heater. (2) **Program** — The term “program” means the Energy Storage System Research, Development, and Deployment Program established under subsection (b)(1). (3) **Secretary** — The term “Secretary” means the Secretary of Energy. **(b) Energy Storage System Research, Development, and Deployment Program** (1) **Establishment** — Not later than 180 days after December 27, 2020, the Secretary shall establish a program, to be known as the Energy Storage System Research, Development, and Deployment Program. (2) **Initial program objectives** — The program shall focus on research, development, and deployment of— (A) energy storage systems, components, and materials designed to further the development of technologies— (i) for large-scale commercial deployment; (ii) for deployment at cost targets established by the Secretary; (iii) for hour
