# DOE Expands Energy Dominance Financing

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) has released its 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, committing to deploy over **$300 billion** in federal financing to support a wide range of energy sectors including clean energy, nuclear, hydrocarbons, coal technologies, critical minerals, and transmission infrastructure. This plan significantly expands EDF's loan authority and investment priorities, including a dedicated **$2.5 billion Transmission Facilitation Program** revolving fund to accelerate major transmission projects. Procurement professionals and contractors in energy infrastructure, manufacturing, and critical minerals sectors should prepare for substantial federal financing opportunities and evolving project requirements under this strategic agenda.
