Description
The Wyoming Energy Dominance Fund (WEDF), administered by the Wyoming Energy Authority (WEA), provides matching grants and loans for projects addressing Wyoming’s energy needs. Created through Senate File 123 during the 2026 legislative session, it supports applied research, demonstrations, pilot projects, and commercial development or deployment. Its goals include affordable, reliable, dispatchable energy, economic growth, job creation, and national energy security.
Supported areas include coal innovation and coal-fired electricity, oil and natural gas, trona and bentonite innovation, enhanced oil recovery, pipelines, energy exports, uranium conversion and enrichment, fuel fabrication, rare-earth and critical-mineral processing, separation and manufacturing, baseload energy, transmission infrastructure, and grid innovations. The program seeks projects that deliver public benefit and a return on investment for Wyoming while significantly advancing technology or progress toward commercial-scale deployment.
