DOE Energy Financing (LPO/EDF) Loan Portfolio Scraper

Scrapes the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Dominance Financing (EDF/LPO) loan portfolio from energy.gov. Returns active deals with borrower, technology area, loan program, financing amount, status, project location, description, and estimated jobs.

What it does

The actor calls the DOE's internal GraphiteGTC map API to retrieve the full portfolio, then visits each project's detail page on energy.gov to extract structured information. Currently the EDF/LPO portfolio holds active loans for major energy infrastructure projects — nuclear, transmission, coal/gas, and more.

Output data

Each record includes:

Field	Description
project_name	Project or facility name
borrower	Primary borrower / owner entity
technology_area	Technology category (e.g. Nuclear, Generation & Transmission)
loan_program	Loan program (e.g. Energy Dominance Financing Program, Title 17)
loan_type	Loan type (Loan or Loan Guarantee)
status	Loan status (Active, Conditional Commitment, Repaid)
financing_amount_usd	Financing amount in USD
closing_date	Loan closing / issuance date (ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD)
state	U.S. state of the project
city	City of the project
description	Project summary extracted from the detail page
estimated_jobs_construction	Estimated construction jobs (where disclosed)
estimated_jobs_permanent	Estimated permanent / operational jobs (where disclosed)
supply_chain_segment	Supply-chain segment tag (nuclear, transmission_grid, coal_hydrocarbons, etc.)
detail_url	URL of the project detail page on energy.gov

Use cases

• Track U.S. federal energy financing activity across nuclear, transmission, fossil fuel, and clean energy sectors
• Monitor the EDF/LPO loan portfolio for new conditional commitments and closings
• Research energy infrastructure projects by state, technology, or borrower
• Supply-chain intelligence on energy sector investment flows

Notes

• The DOE EDF portfolio is the successor to the Loan Programs Office (LPO) under the current administration. Records span legacy LPO programs (Title 17, ATVM) and the new Energy Dominance Financing Program.
• The portfolio is relatively small (currently 6 active projects) but covers very large financing amounts ($263M to $22.4B per project).
• Borrower information is extracted from the detail page; not all projects disclose this in the API data.
• The supply_chain_segment field is derived from keywords in the technology area and project description.
