How engagements are run

  • Fit before spend: Confirm the DOE pathway before you fund a full application or proposal effort.
  • One accountable lead: Strategy through post-award under a single engagement owner.
  • Published standards: Documented review gates, response targets, and delivery cadence.

Sectors

  • DC Developers: Federal funding for data center developers, hyperscalers, and colocation operators securing power and incentives.
  • DC Power: Federal funding for behind-the-meter generation, storage, nuclear/SMR, and firm power serving data centers.
  • DC Cooling: Federal funding for liquid cooling, heat rejection, and water/energy efficiency technology for AI-density data centers.
  • Electrical Supply: Federal funding for transformers, switchgear, UPS, and domestic electrical manufacturing for data center builds.

Engagement model

  • Strategize: Clarify DOE pathway fit, technical positioning, and pursuit economics for campus power, grid, and cooling projects before proposal spend.
  • Propose: Build evaluator- and lender-ready narratives, compliance matrices, and submission packages under disciplined QA.
  • Negotiate: Structure loans, awards, and interconnection-adjacent terms that protect delivery timelines and long-term program viability.
  • Execute: Operate funded programs with reporting cadence, cost controls, and confident closeout as megawatts come online.

Why teams work with Velawolf

  • Specialists, not generalists: Practice leads with DOE loan, demonstration, and R&D capture experience—not a volume writing shop.
  • Quality before submission: Compliance matrix, review cycles, and packaging checklist. Nothing ships without a gate.
  • One team, full cycle: Strategy, proposal, negotiation, and post-award under one accountable lead.
  • Data center-native pursuit: Power, grid, cooling, and electrical-equipment fit criteria matched to how DOE actually evaluates data center infrastructure projects.
