The U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office (LPO) has launched a new dynamic portfolio projects map that showcases its clean energy and advanced technology vehicle manufacturing projects, including active conditional commitments and loans, across the United States.
This valuable, user-friendly resource offers many features, including:
- Search filters: Visitors can track and dynamically search all of LPO’s publicly announced projects by state, loan type (e.g, direct loan, loan guarantee, partial loan guarantee), technology sector, and loan status (e.g., active, conditional, repaid). The portfolio projects page also continues to capture projects no longer in the LPO portfolio.
- Project details: Search results connect to every LPO project while summarizing statistics by customized sub-portfolio searches.
- Geographic visualization: The map provides a dynamic geographic representation of LPO’s projects, enabling visitors to see the distribution of initiatives across the nation and identify regional trends and opportunities.
Consult this map for the latest information on LPO’s portfolio, including new conditional commitment and financial close announcements.
