Initial funding of $366 million in 2010 supported three hubs at up to $122 million each over five years, with subsequent hubs like JCESR ($120 million) and ESRA ($62.5 million) adding to over $600 million by 2025.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/department-energy-invest-up-125-million-two-energy-innovation-hub-teams |title=$125M Hubs |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> Ongoing support varies by office—e.g., Office of Science for ESRA—funding R&D, prototypes, and partnerships with no set end date.
