The Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program staffs manage the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) State Energy Program (SEP). SEP provides grants to the states for them to design and carry out their renewable energy and energy efficiency programs in a way that makes the most sense for their resources and economies. For more information, see the SEP Web site.
The following two graphs show SEP funding to the states for SEP grants and SEP Special Projects, which comes from EERE technology development programs to encourage the adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies in the states.
