Over $2.7 billion in formula grants are now available to U.S. states, territories, local governments, and Indian tribes under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program, funded for the first time under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This Program, authorized in Title V, Subtitle E of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and signed into Public Law (PL 110-140) on December 19, 2007, provides funds to units of local and state government, Indian tribes, and territories to develop and implement projects to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions in their communities. The Program is administered by the Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs (WIP) in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

To date, DOE has awarded 206 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants, totaling nearly $111 million. Please join us in congratulating the following cities, counties, and Indian tribes:

What's New

Appeals Process
The deadline for filing appeals regarding eligibility determinations for direct formula grants for units of local government under the EECBG Program was July 24, 2009. These appeals are now under review and are being adjudicated by the DOE Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA). If an appeal is successful, a unit of local government will be provided the opportunity to submit an application consistent with the requirements announced in the EECBG Funding Opportunity Announcement. For complete details on the process please see OHA's EECBG web page and this Notice (PDF 81 KB), published in the Federal Register, June 23, 2009. Download Adobe Reader. As decisions are made on a case by case basis, OHA will be posting them here.
