For most Department of Energy research and development projects, the Secretary must require outside parties to pay at least 20 percent of the cost — though that can be reduced for basic research. For demonstration and commercial-application projects, outside parties must generally cover at least 50 percent, adjustable for risk. Cash, staff time, services, and equipment all count, and the Tennessee Valley Authority may use power-program funds to help meet its share.

(a) Research and development: Unless this Act says otherwise, for research and development programs under this Act, the Secretary must require non-federal sources to commit at least 20 percent of the project's cost. The Secretary may lower or drop that requirement if the research is basic or fundamental in nature. (b) Demonstration and commercial application: Unless this Act says otherwise, the Secretary must require non-federal sources to provide at least 50 percent of the costs directly tied to a demonstration or commercial-application project. The Secretary may lower that requirement if doing so is necessary and appropriate given the technology's risks and needed to meet the Act's goals. (c) Calculation of amount: When figuring out the non-federal share, the Secretary must count cash, personnel, services, equipment, and other resources. (d) Tennessee Valley Authority: The Tennessee Valley Authority can use money from its power program to cover all or part of its cost-sharing requirement, except money that comes from annual appropriations acts.

Except as otherwise provided in this Act, for research and development programs carried out under this Act, the Secretary shall require a commitment from non-Federal sources of at least 20 percent of the cost of the project.

The Secretary may reduce the non-Federal requirement under this subsection if the Secretary determines that the reduction is necessary and appropriate considering the technological risks involved in the project and is necessary to meet the objectives of this Act.

In calculating the amount of the non-Federal commitment under paragraph (1) or (2), the Secretary shall include cash, personnel, services, equipment, and other resources.

(d) Tennessee Valley Authority

Funds derived by the Tennessee Valley Authority from its power program may be used for all or part of any cost sharing requirements under this section, except to the extent that such funds are provided by annual appropriation Acts.
