Donor Name: Indiana Office of Energy Development (OED)
State: Indiana
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 02/02/2024
Size of the Grant: More than $1 million
Grant Duration: 2 Years
Details:
This program will fund efforts to increase energy efficiency and conservation for units of local government. Grant funds will support eligible program activities, such as energy planning, energy audits and building upgrades, and electric transportation for communities. Funding for this opportunity is available only to units of local government in Indiana that were not allocated EECBG formula funds directly from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Funding Information
The $1.46 million available is set aside for to local governments that were not allocated EECBG formula funds directly from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Project Period
Up to 2 years
Eligible Applicants
Local governments are eligible to apply for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG).
Program Activities
- Energy Planning
- Energy Efficiency-Energy Audits and Building Upgrades
- Energy Savings Performance Contracts
- Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Fleet Electrification
- EV Charging Infrastructure for the Community
- Workforce Development
Evaluation Criteria
- Projects will be evaluated on the basis of whether the project demonstrates energy efficiency objectives are met, align with the blueprint objectives, and will further the State energy goals. IOED uses the five pillars of electricity policy, as codified in Indiana law: affordability, reliability, resiliency, stability, and environmental sustainability, in the development and implementation of grant programs. Energy efficiency supports the five pillars in multiple ways, including maintaining affordability through reducing energy consumption, increasing reliability, resiliency, and stability by reducing demands placed onto the electric grid, and providing environmental benefits.
- Strong applications will demonstrate that the proposed project will improve energy efficiency based on measurable outcomes, will provide community benefits, and will support attracting, developing, and maintaining a strong and diverse workforce that includes an opportunity for all Hoosiers.
