New documents are available to provide an overview of grant guidance and management information, including allocations and the methodology for their determination, for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program formula grants.
Two new guidance documents are available from the U.S. Department of Energy on the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program formula grants. The purposes of these documents are to:
-
Provide an overview of grant guidance and management information, including allocations and the methodology for their determination, for the EECBG Program formula grants for program years 2009-2013.
-
Provide guidance to Department of Energy’s (DOE) EEBCG grantees on financing programs.
More information about DOE's Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program, which provides grants, technical assistance, and information tools to states, local governments, community action agencies, utilities, Indian tribes, and overseas U.S. territories for their energy programs, is available on its website. These programs coordinate with national goals to reduce petroleum consumption and increase the energy efficiency of the U.S. economy. They aim at market transformation to reduce market barriers to the cost-effective adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
