Energy Manager Grant Program

This new grant program was established using $1.7 million in federal funds received from the Department of Energy as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

The grants were awarded to 11 coalitions of local governments in August 2010 and provide $85,000/year for up to 2 years to hire an energy manager and for other energy efficiency expenditures (see program narrative). The energy manager will develop a short-term and long-term plan for each of the coalition members in order to achieve these goals.

• Reducing energy use and improve energy efficiency in public and private buildings.
• Reducing consumption of fuel in vehicles and equipment.
• Increasing awareness of energy conservation and efficiency.
• Increasing participation in programs related to energy conservation and management.
