The New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning (OEP) announces the availability of $6.6 million through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program. This grant program will fund projects that reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions, and improve energy efficiency. OEP is currently targeting the following timetable:
                                                                                           
                              
  • Grant Application Released: January 8, 2010
  • Intent to Bid Letter Due: January 15, 2010
  • Applications Due: February 15, 2010
  • Grants Awarded: March 10, 2010
In conjunction with the January 8, 2010 release of the EECBG Subgrant Application, OEP will also release a program guidance document and guidelines for the format of the "Intent to Bid" submission. EECBG will entail a competitive application process and funds will be awarded based on the value of the project and the benefit to the public. Selection criteria include, but are not limited to, projected energy savings, greenhouse gas emission reductions, and the ability to implement projects expeditiously. Eligible applicants are local governments and local government partnerships.
Eligible uses of this funding include projects such as: energy efficiency retrofits; energy audits; transportation efficiency measures; solid waste/wastewater treatment; energy distribution technologies; financial incentive programs; and renewable energy technologies for local government buildings. Each community will be eligible to receive funding up to 100% of the project cost with a limit of $400,000 per applicant.
