DOE Loan Guarantee Program (LGP)
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Loan Guarantee Program (LGP) was created in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to support new and innovative technologies and alleviate the risks involved with moving new technologies to market. Loan guarantees may be offered to companies that generate energy or manufacture energy components.
SEIA supports the full funding of the Loan Guarantee Program, and urges expeditious processing of meritorious loan guarantee applications.
