One of these programs, the American Made Challenges (AMC) program which is administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), was launched in 2018 to support and encourage innovators to create and deploy innovative solutions to advance U.S. leadership inthe energy industry.The AMC program is a Fast-Track to the Clean Energy Revolution, supercharging a revolution of bold ideas to create a just, clean energy future
Background:NREL is seeking new organizations to join the AMC program and play a strategic role in mitigating support gaps for competitors within AMC and other DOE innovation programs, and to amplify the impact of these programs to a diverse range of stakeholders.

Historically, most existing programs designed to deliver energy-efficient building upgrades have not scaled, and upgrades remain complicated, costly, disruptive, and undervalued.To solve these challenges, DOE seeks to support and recognize energy efficiency and efficient electrification initiative innovations in areas such as: project financing, project aggregation and customer acquisition, equipment ownership structures, soft cost reduction, workforce
These prototypes will be developed by competing teams in the proposed Phase 2 of the Break the Ice Lunar Challenge competition. Phase 2 is expected to be launched no earlier than January 2022.
