    action: Notice of intent to award a grant based upon an unsolicited 
    application.

    summary: The Department of Energy (DOE), Golden Field Office, through 
    the Chicago Support Office, announces, pursuant to the DOE Financial 
    Assistance Rules 10 CFR 600.14(f) its intent to award a grant to 
    Central Michigan University to analyze and evaluate the impact of solar 
    domestic hot water heaters (SDHW) on the electric consumption and 
    demand patterns on Beaver Island, in Lake Michigan, off the City of 
    Charlevoix, Michigan.
    
    supplementary information: Central Michigan University (CMU), through 
    its Biological Station at Beaver Island, has been a lead participant in 
    the Beaver Island Energy Project (BIEP). The BIEP assists the residents 
    of Beaver Island to develop their economy with energy efficiency and 
    renewable energy to sustain the Island's unique ecological and social 
    infrastructure.
        One result of the BIEP has been the increased use of solar domestic 
    water heating, supplementing mostly electric domestic water heating. 
    Beaver Island may have one of the largest percentage concentrations of 
    SDHW for residential structures in the Great Lakes region. The minimal 
    usage of other seasonal electric demand, such as air conditioning, is 
    an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of SDHW as a demand-side 
    management tool. This award will further the usage of renewable energy 
    application by monitoring the impact of SDHW on electric power demand 
    and consumption. This study is unique because it will take place in a 
    northern latitude location in the Great Lakes region to supplement 
    other ongoing studies of SDHW which are taking place in the southern 
    and western parts of the United States. CMU has supported the BIEP with 
    the only college-level facilities located on the Island.
        The unsolicited application is being accepted by DOE as a result of 
    DOE's determination that the proposed activity is meritorious, likely 
    to be effective and successful, and offers a unique opportunity to 
    further the use of renewable energy, as encouraged by Titles XII 
    (Renewable Energy) and XVI (Global Climate Change) of the Energy Policy 
    Act of 1992, as well as the Climate Change Action Plan. The project 
    period for the grant award is 24-months, expected to begin October, 
    1994. DOE plans to provide funding in the amount of $30,000.
