Department of Energy Loan Programs: Title

XVII Innovative Technology Loan Guarantees



Updated December 9, 2020


The Department of Energy's (DOE's) Loan Programs Office (LPO) manages the Title XVII Innovative
Technology Loan Guarantee Program, the focus of this Insight, and the Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee
Program (TELGP), the focus of a companion CRS Insight. Table 1 provides a high-level comparison of
these programs. LPO also manages the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) direct
loan program.
Established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT05 Title XVII, P.L. 109-58), as amended in 2009
(Sec. 406, P.L. 111-5), the Title XVII program has supported projects under two separate loan guarantee
authorities with different characteristics (see Table 1).
    1. Section 1703 authority is currently active and to date has committed funds to 1 project,
       and,
   2.  Section 1705 authority expired in September 2011 and committed funds to 28 projects.
As with all federal credit programs, Title XVII requires that a subsidy cost be paid-through
appropriations and/or payment by the borrower-prior to finalizing a loan guarantee agreement. The
Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA; Section 13201 of P.L. 101-508) requires that estimated
lifetime net costs of new loans and loan guarantees be recorded in the budget year in which the loans are
disbursed (2 U.S.C §661c). The costs of these credit programs, referred to as subsidy costs, are measured
on a net present value (NPV) basis-which is the combined value of expected future cash receipts, less
expenditures adjusted or discounted, calculated using an interest rate based on Treasury securities.
