 to manufacturers that are interested in creating new facilities or expanding existing production capacity to efficiently develop more electric heat pump systems, components, and materials in the United States. DOE is seeking projects that will: 

    •    

Construct new commercial-scale facilities or expand existing facilities to create new or additional domestic production capability

    •    

Retool or retrofit existing commercial-scale facilities to transition manufacturing from non-heat pump HVAC systems and/or water heating equipment to produce electric heat pump materials, heat pump components, and heat pump systems 

    •    

Invest in America's clean energy manufacturing workforce by providing good-paying, union jobs
